====Saṃdhi in consonant stems==== | |||
Consonant stem nouns ending in a sonorant (i.e. m-stem, n-stem and l-stem nouns) undergo special saṃdhi processes if the final ''-a-'' is preceded by a -CR- cluster, where R is any sonorant. | |||
All such nouns are reconstructed as having a syllabic consonant in Pre-Dundulanyä (PreD), but such syllabic consonants - m̥, n̥ and l̥ - are no longer found in Dundulanyä: | |||
* ''-Cna-'' and ''-Cma-'' nouns have their oblique stem in ''-Ca-'' (through intermediate *-Cn̥-, *-Cm̥-), e.g. ''yasmam'' "tooth" → oblique stem ''yasam-'' (PreD *yasm̥m-), whence e.g. ergative ''yasamis''; | |||
* ''-Cla-'' nouns have their oblique stem in ''-Cṛ-'' (through intermediate *-Cl̥-), e.g. ''sislam'' "door" → oblique stem ''sisṛm-'' (PreD *sisl̥m-), whence e.g. accusative ''sisṛmat''. | |||
