§ 63. Change of consonant-classes in sound-groups (cf. § 41): 1. Guttural appears for palatal perhaps in bhisakka ‘physician’ M.I. 429⁴, A. III. 238⁶, Milp. 247¹¹ as against bhesajja ‘medicine’.—2. Cerebral appears for palatal in āṇā ‘order’ JāCo. I. 369²³ etc. (āṇāpeti, āṇatta, āṇatti)=ājñā (ājñāpayati⁴). But we have also aññā ‘highest knowledge’, aññātar ‘one who knows well’, aññāya Gerund from root jñā with ā. Similarly to be explained also paṇṇarasa, paṇṇuvīsa, paṇṇāsa (§ 48.2).—3. Dental appears for palatal in uttiṭṭha (Skr. ucchiṣṭa) ‘rest of a meal’ Milp. 213 f. (uttiṭṭhapatta ‘alms-bowl with grains of food attaching to it⁵’), a dialectical side-form of ucchiṭṭha (§ 57). For initial jy there is d instead of j in dosina (§ 59.2)=jyautsna.
