In Old-M. forms जेधवां, etc., occur, showing that the modern व्ह vh is an inversion from ह्व hv. The suggested origin from Skr. कदा, by aspirating the द and adding आं, the termination of the locative (Godbol, p. 75), is unsatisfactory. M. has also a series जंव, etc., meaning “while,” “as long as,” which recalls H. जब with inorganic anunâsika. - [Previous: v3.c19.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.beames-1872.v3.c19.8) - [Next: v3.c19.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.beames-1872.v3.c19.10) - [Up: v3.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.beames-1872.v3.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.beames-1872.v3.c19.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.beames-1872.v3.c19.9) · Pramāṇa
