1 . Before these as before all other suffixes, the final ^ h of a verb 
is elided (iv. 131). So also, an initial ^ a of a suffix is elided when 
the verb, either after the elision of h or not, ends in a vowel (viii, i. 
39). Thus, ^+^*1 chuh + am becomes first chu-\-am, and 
then w-f *r chu+m = W*T chum , there is to me.

2. If the final *3 kh of a suffix is followed by another pronominal 
(not an adverbial) suffix commencing with a vowel, the kh becomes 
^ h (viii. i. 38). Thus,— 
afr*;T«T karan chu-h-as (for chu-kli -+ as), thou makest for 
vj x x ' 
him. 
karan chu-h-akh, thou makest for them.
