NOUNS ENDING IN CONSONANTS
72. General Principles of Consonant-Sandhi
(1) No Sanskrit word can end with more than one consonant. A
./ma! compound consonant must be reduced to its first member, e.g. :
*TCRIJ^
becomes *re^ I
(2) Exception is made for a final double consonant the first member
of which ^ and the second, a consonant which
is is not a termination,
e.g. :
5^ which according to (3) will become 3^ I
^ (4) A final hard consonant becomes soft before a vowel "or a soft
consonant, e.g. :
(5) This rule does not apply to the final hard consonant of a
verbal base or a nominal stem followed by a termination or a case-ending
beginning with, a vowel or a semi-vowel, e.g. :
(7) This rule does not apply to the final soft aspirate of a verbal

Anabsolute phrase can be translated into Sanskrit by the
locative absolute. The subject is put in the locative case and
the participle agrees with it in gender, number and case.
The present participle is used if the action of the absolute
phrase is simultaneous with that of the main clause.
The past participle is used if the action of the absolute phrase
precedes that of the main clause.
The active or passive participle is used according to the voice
of the participle in the absolute phrase.

throwing arrows), the general mounted his horse :

THE ADVERB-CLAUSE 119
TTgiTTWcIHTJ
LESSON 26
THE ADVERB-CLAUSE
127. The adverb-clause expresses a particular circumstance of
the action of the main clause. In Sanskrit, the adverb-
clause generally precedes the main clause and is introduced by a
conjunctive adverb to which a simple adverb corresponds in the
main clause, e.g. The tree lies where it fell' will be translated
:
Examples
You came when the guests had gone
Sit down while I fetch water
They stood where the hero fell zffl
He does not speak because his friends have left him 2RTt
cW^TW^S ?r *uq^ I
129. When
an adverb-clause is translated by an indeclinable past
participle or by a locative or genitive absolute, the conjunc-
tive and simple adverbs are not translated (sec LESSON 24).
130. The numerals ir^, fg[, f^" and ^g^ agree in gender and case
with the noun they qualify.
The numerals from q^
(five) to -^51^ (nineteen) are declined
alike in the three genders. They agree in case with the noun they
qualify. Except for <^ (six) and &(&^ (eight) they are all declined
like <J^.
