2.1.1

[Governing rule:] In euphonic combination.

2.1.2

"In euphonic combination" is a governing rule. It must be understood that what will be stated hereafter is intended to apply only in euphonic combination.

2.2.1

Before a vowel, there is elision of a vowel.

2.2.2

When a vowel follows, elision of the preceding vowel takes place.

Because of the principle that an injunction undertaken when [an operation] is already established serves as a restriction, this rule is for the purpose of restriction: if there should be elision of a vowel belonging to a stem, it is only of the vowels u and ē, not of another. Because of the governing rule of vowels, here the elision of vowels is restricted, not indeed the stem.

2.5.1

After ā, i-vowels, and ē, [there is] y.
