1.10.1

[9] *la*, *ra*, and *ḍa* become *ḷa*, *ṟa*, and *ḻa* through dependence on articulatory effort.

1.10.2

These phonemes—*la*, *ra*, and *ḍa*—become *ḷa*, *ṟa*, and *ḻa* on account of a particular articulatory effort. This rule is undertaken because they are fit for distinct usage in the vernacular.

1.10.4

*vole*
