(iv) In such common sounds as *ṁ*, *m̐*, *ḥ* a large number of instances would be required to throw doubt upon the ordinary rule for position. Such instances are only found in the datives *máhyam*, *túbhyam*, *asmábhyam*, for which forms without the final *-m* are not uncommon in the text, and must also be restored as shewn above on p. 30. This restoration is not required in *i 50 13a or *126 6c, where the syllable occurs in the semicadence of epic Anuṣṭubh.
