 328 1. ALLGEMEINES UND SPRACHE. 4. VEDIC GRAMMAR. beside súmbhate and sóbhate, from śubh- ‘shine'; synthati (TS¹.), beside the regular śrathnās etc., from frath- 'loosen'. 2. Four roots form their stem with the suffix -chá: iş- ‘wish': i-cchá-; - 'go' : ṛ-cchá-; práš-¹ 'ask' : prechá-; vas- 'shine' : u-cchá-. 3. Two stems are transfers from the nasal class of the second conjugation: prná-, beside pr-ya-, from pr- 'fill'; mrná-, beside my-na-, from mr- 'crush'; rūjá- ‘stretch' has become the regular stem beside pl. rijate; and z. pl. umbha-ta (AV.), appears beside ubh-na-, from ubh- 'confine'. 4. Beside the normal -nu stem r-, the root - also has the transfer stem ṛṇv-á-. 5. While roots ending in i or a change these vowels into ży or uzv before -á (e. g. kşiy-á-, from ksi- 'dwell', yuv-á- from yu- 'join'), the TS. has ksy-ánt- beside RV. kşiyánt. 'dwelling'. b. The present stems chyá- (AV.) 'cut up', dyá- (AV.) ‘divide', syá- ‘sharpen', syá- 'bind', though regarded by the Indian grammarians as belonging to the -ya class, should most probably be classified here, because the a is accented, i appears beside ā in various forms from these roots, and yá is here often to be read as -ia, while this is never the case in the ya class. - - 430.
