When a verb used substantively, and connected, by the affix ၏, with a following noun, whose initial is a syllabic အ, drops both the noun affix, and the verbal, and takes the noun into union with itself, by rejecting or modifying the initial letter, the abbreviated compound becomes a verbal noun of the same import as the original clause, thus သွား&#8203;သည်&#8203;၏&#8203;အ&#8203;ခါ becomes သွား&#8203;ခါ, the time of going; နေ&#8203;သည်&#8203;၏&#8203;အ&#8203;စည်, while remaining; ပြော&#8203;သည်&#8203;၏&#8203;အ&#8203;စ, ပြော&#8203;စ, the beginning of speaking.

Several classes of verbal nouns, on account of their frequent occurrence, deserve particular mention.
