    • c. 500 AD, Kaccāyana, Pālivyākaraṇaṃ [Pali Grammar]‎[1] (overall work in Pali), page 11; republished as Satish Chandra Acharyya Vidyabhusana, editor, Kaccayana's Pali Grammar (edited in Devanagari character and translated into English), Calcutta, Bengal: Mahabodhi Society, 1901:
      सब्बो ति इच्चेसो सद्दो सरे परे क्वचि चकारं पप्पोति
      Sabbo ti icceso saddo sare pare kvaci cakāraṃ pappoti.
      For all 'ti', this sound sometimes becomes 'c' before another vowel.

Usage notes

edit

The case form एतद् (etad) is only used before vowels and as the prefixed combining form. Before vowels, the virama and independent vowel coalesce to the corresponding dependent vowel.
