(iii) Amongst forms in which *-nn* represents a double consonant are to be reckoned aorists like *átann* vi 61 9c (2D): the nominative singular in *-ṅn* as *sadṛṅn* has the same value, for instance in i 94 7a (10). Locatives such as *ájman*, *tásmin* must everywhere be restored for *-ann*, *-inn* of the text, and vocatives in *-an*, *-in* usually for those in *-ann*, *-inn*: but the final syllable of *maghavann* is always long by position, and *púsann*, *rájann*, *vṛṣann* and *sahasāvann* usually, for instance in ii 28 9b (4A), iii 32 1c (8), vii 4 6c (8).
