c12.s3.102

In other words ending in *-o* for *-a* the usage is the same, and though the particle *ū* may in some cases be present, the restoration of final *-a* seems generally most probable, with such consequent corrections as *ihá sú* ix 65 5c, *kéna nú* viii 66 9c, *tátra sú* i 37 14c, *bhūyáma sú* iv 32 6a, and *sahá sú* viii 7 32a. The chief exception (besides *nó* subs. iii above) is *pró*, which seems very frequently to stand for *prá ū*, except in *i 161 12d*, where *prá* should be restored.
