Vedic Metre in its Historical Development c12.s3.64

c12.s3.64

(v) In nouns the vowel of reduplication is generally long: but *táturi* is endorsed by the metre in i 145 3c (5A), vi 22 2c (5A). In the remaining occurrences *tárutra* is a tempting correction, but not altogether necessary, namely in iv 39 2d, vi 24 2a, 68 7d.
