Wilson Philological Lectures on Sanskrit and the Derived Languages c10.22

c10.22

∗ Mr. Beames traces them to हउ Ap., अहमम् Skr., but such forms do not exist. Prof. Lassen to whom he refers only conjectures अहमं to account for अहअं, but अहअं is clearly derived from अहकम् which exists even in Skr. The reading हउ in the passage from Kramadîsvara given by Lassen is questionable. Hemachandra has हउ distinctly and the form occurs in many verses.
