verbal nouns.

When a verb used substantively, and connected, by the affix ၏, with a following noun, whose initial is a syllabic အ, drops both the noun affix, and the verbal, and takes the noun into union with itself, by rejecting or modifying the initial letter, the abbreviated compound becomes a verbal noun of the same import as the original clause, thus သွား​သည်​၏​အ​ခါ becomes သွား​ခါ, the time of going; နေ​သည်​၏​အ​စည်, while remaining; ပြော​သည်​၏​အ​စ, ပြော​စ, the beginning of speaking.

Several classes of verbal nouns, on account of their frequent occurrence, deserve particular mention.
