(ii) in particles: *áva*; vi 46 11b (6): *ihá*; iv 5 14c (8), 31 11a (4), x 178 1d (8): *ca*; i 77 2d (2T), iii 57 5d (8), viii 53 4a (10: the text has *cā*, i.e. *ca* *ā*): *caná*; i 84 20b (6): *ná*; i 147 3d (8)=iv 4 13d (the Saṃhitā has *náha*, Pp. *ná* *áha*, TS. correctly *ná* *ha*), *vii 104 13a (init.), *x 34 8c (8): prá-pra*; i 129 8a (2T): *ha*; iv 31 5b (2D), v 41 7d (2T). The text also has three times *nahí* *nú*, and twice *nahí* *nú* at the beginning of the verse: *nahí* *nú* is probably the correct reading throughout, namely in i 80 15a, 167 9a, vi 27 3a before consonants, and in *iv 18 4c, viii 3 13c before vowels (§ 173 iii). There are also occasional instances in compounds, as *iṣṭā-pūrtá* *x 14 8b.
