Vedic Metre in its Historical Development c11.190

c11.190

(iv) The suffixes -na, -nas may be read with resolution in the case of cyautná vi 47 2c, [x 50 4c], and rékṇaḥ i 121 5c, [vi 20 7c, x 61 11c, 132 3b]. Both examples are doubtful: but the occurrence of nútna, nútana in the text in agreement with the metre shews at least the possibility of the former resolution.
