A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India v1.c7.31

v1.c7.31

Lassen (p. 239) repeats Vararuchi for the most part, but shows some consciousness of the difference between a strong and a weak nexus. He gives (p. 235) five classes of nexus, among which is No. II., “Complexus consonantium quaternarum ordinatarum,” which corresponds to my “strong nexus.” His list of examples is different from Vararuchi’s, but does not add anything to the general rule already obtained from the Indian author.
