(12) Śevala, Supari, Viśāla, Varuṇa and Aryamā (*Śevala-Supari-Viśāla-Varuṇ-Āryamādīnāṁ tṛitīyāt*, V.3.84)—these formed the first part (*pūrvapada*) of names and the three endearment suffixes, *ika*, *iya* and *ila*, added after them caused the elision of all the syllables after the third. For example, Śevaladatta or Śevalendradatta was shortened to Śevalika, Śevaliya or Śevalila; Suparyāśīrdatta to Suparika, Supariya and Suparila; and Viśāladatta to Viśālika, Viśāliya and Viśālila.
