The i family is changed into ya at option. 



When there is a vowel in the second place y is sometimes 

 substituted for the i family. 



At option cha may be substituted for " ti' ' after the substitu- 

 tion of y, according to the general rule " Sabbo chan ti," and 

 on account of the preceding vowel the consonant is doubled 

 according to the rule, Si Paradwe bhawo thane" : thus 

 pachchantan, wutyassa. 



Why " sometimes" ? [because of] pataggi. 



Here pati for pati according to the rule " kwachi pati patissa" 

 I say 4 ' family" because the long and short vowels are' always 

 taken together.

Sarato parassa ewassadi ekaro rittan nawa yati pubbocha 

 thanasannan rassan — yathariwa yathewa. 



Take as an example yatha ewa — for the first letter in ewa ri, 

 and for the preceding vowel the short vowel. 



On account of the preceding vowel the first letter e in the 

 second word ewa becomes ri, and the first letter of the combi- 

 nation is changed into its proximate short letter : as yathariwa 

 or yathewa.
