L. f. rathisu. ¹ In these words the accent is shifted to a vowel ending in weak cases. 2 The final vowel in this word is perhaps radical in origin (from yā ‘go'). 3 The V. pl. su-hastias (IX. 46¹), presupposes a stem su-hasti-, but as the form is a m., the reading ought perhaps to be emended to suhastiãs with BR. - 5 GRASSMANN regards this as a f. of an adjective samudi á-. See WHITNEY on AV. iv. 375. 7See LANMAN 371³. 8 In I. 1227 staris seems to be the equi- valent of strí. See pw. s. v. 9 Cp.
