AVERY, Verb-Inflection 274-275. WHITNEY, Sanskrit Grammar 768-774; Roots 230-231. v. NEGELEIN 38-40. - - ¹ ávatīryatís (AV.XIX. 93) is a corrupt reading: see WHITNEY'S Translation; cp. p. 331, note 7. 2 AVERY 249 adds adhayan(?). 444. Any root that requires a passive forms its present stem by adding accented -yá (which never needs to be pronounced -ia). The root appears in its weak form, losing a nasal and taking Samprasarana; thus añj- 'anoint': aj-yá- be anointed'; vac- 'speak' uc-yá- 'be spoken'. Final vowels undergo the changes usual before ya in verbal forms: final i and u being lengthened, ā mostly becoming ī, r being generally changed to ri, and 7 becoming īr³. Thus mi- 'fix': mīya-; su- 'press': sūyá-; dã- ‘give': dī-yá- (but jñā- ‘know' : jñā-yá-); kṛ- ‘make': kri-yá-; - 'crush': sīrya-. 3 No example of ur seems to occur in in the Samhitäs, but pur-ya- from př- 'fill' is found in the -ya class. a. The root tan- 'stretch' forms its passive from tā- : tā-yá-. Similarly jan- 'beget' makes its present stem from jā- : jaya-te, which has, however, been transferred to the radically accented ya- class. mri-yá-te 'dies' (V/mr-)4 and dhriyáte (√dhṛ-) ‘is steadfast', though passives in form, are not so in sense 5. 445. The inflexion is identical with that of the radically accented ya- class in the middle, differing from it in accent only. No forms of the optative are found in the RV. or AV. The forms actually occurring are the following: 4 This root has a transitive sense ('crush') only in its secondary form mrn-, and in the AV. in the imperative forms mṛṇīhi and mynīta. 5 Cp. above 437.
