5. Taddhitakaṇḍa (Secondary derivation section)

· 177 min read

Buddhappiya's Taddhitakaṇḍa: the secondary suffixes grouped by sense — descent, relation, abstraction, comparison, possession, number, adverbs — with every derivation.

Atha nāmato eva vibhatyantā apaccādiatthavisese taddhituppattīti nāmato paraṃ taddhitavidhānamārabhīyate.

Now, because a taddhita (secondary derivative) arises only from a noun — from a lemma that carries an inflection — in a particular sense such as “offspring”, the treatment of the taddhita is begun after that of the noun [and its compounds].

Tattha tasmā tividhaliṅgato paraṃ hutvā hitā sahitāti taddhitā, ṇā dipaccayānametaṃ adhivacanaṃ, tesaṃ vā nāmikānaṃ hitā upakārā taddhitāti anvatthabhūtaparasamaññāvasenāpi ṇā dippaccayāva taddhitā nāma.

Here taddhita means “placed (hita), that is, joined on, after (paraṃ hutvā) that (tasmā) lemma of three genders”; it is a name for the suffixes ṇa and the rest. Or else they are taddhita because they are of service (hitā), helpful, to those (tesaṃ) nominal lemmas. So even by way of the terminology of the other grammars, which here says what it means (anvattha), it is precisely the suffixes ṇa and the rest that are called taddhita.

‘‘Vasiṭṭhassa apacca’’nti viggahe –

In the analysis (viggaha) “Vasiṭṭha’s offspring” —

‘‘Liṅgañca nipaccate’’ti ito liṅga ggahaṇamanuvattate.

the word liṅga (lemma) continues [into the rule] from 61 (§53): Liṅgañca nipaccate, Kaccāyana’s §53 (61): Liṅgañca nippajjate.


361 (§344): Vā ṇa’pacce (Optionally ṇa in the sense of offspring) apavada

Section titled “361 (§344): Vā ṇa’pacce (Optionally ṇa in the sense of offspring) apavada ”

Chaṭṭhiyantato liṅgamhā ṇa ppaccayo hoti vikappena ‘‘tassa apacca’’miccetasmiṃ atthe.

After a lemma ending in the sixth form ⑥, the suffix ṇa is used optionally (vikappena) in the sense “his offspring” (tassa apaccaṃ).

So ca –

And that [suffix] —


362 (§432): Dhātuliṅgehi parā paccayā (suffixes come after roots and lemmas: a governing statement) sīhagatika

Section titled “362 (§432): Dhātuliṅgehi parā paccayā (suffixes come after roots and lemmas: a governing statement) sīhagatika ”

Dhātūhi, liṅgehi ca paccayā parāva hontīti paribhāsato apaccatthasambandhiliṅgato chaṭṭhiyantāyeva paro hoti. Paṭicca etasmā attho etīti paccayo, patīyanti anena atthāti vā paccayo, ‘‘vuttatthānamappayogo’’ti apacca saddassa appayogo, ‘‘tesaṃ vibhattiyo lopā ce’’ti vibhattilopo ca.

By the metarule (paribhāsā) “suffixes come only after roots (dhātu) and after lemmas (liṅga)”, the suffix comes only after the lemma that is connected with the sense of offspring and ends in the sixth form ⑥. It is called a suffix (paccaya) because the meaning comes (eti) from it, depending on it (paṭicca), or because meanings are understood (patīyanti) by means of it. The word apacca is not used, by [the maxim] “what has already been expressed is not used” (vuttatthānaṃ appayogo), and the inflection is elided by §317 (332): Tesaṃ vibhattiyo lopā ca.


363 (§396): Tesaṃ ṇo lopaṃ (the ṇ of these suffixes is elided) utsarga

Section titled “363 (§396): Tesaṃ ṇo lopaṃ (the ṇ of these suffixes is elided) utsarga ”

Tesaṃ taddhitappaccayānaṃ ṇā nubandhānaṃ ṇa kāro lopamāpajjate.

The letter ṇ of these taddhita suffixes that carry the marker ṇ (ṇānubandha) is elided.


364 (§400): Vuddhādisarassa vāsaṃyogantassa saṇe ca (optionally vuddhi of the first vowel not before a conjunct, before a ṇ suffix) apavada

Section titled “364 (§400): Vuddhādisarassa vāsaṃyogantassa saṇe ca (optionally vuddhi of the first vowel not before a conjunct, before a ṇ suffix) apavada ”

Ādisarassa vā ādibyañjanassa vā asaṃyogantassa vuddhi hoti saṇa kārappaccaye pare. Saṃyogo anto assāti saṃyoganto, tadañño asaṃyoganto. Atha vā vavatthitavibhāsatthoyaṃ vā saddo, tadā ca pakatibhūte liṅge sarānamādisarassa asaṃyogantassa vuddhi hoti saṇa kāre taddhitappaccaye pareti attho.

When a suffix with the letter ṇ follows, the initial vowel, or [the vowel of] the initial consonant, is strengthened (vuddhi), provided it is not followed by a conjunct: what has a conjunct (saṃyoga) after it is saṃyoganta, “ending in a conjunct”, and what is other than that is asaṃyoganta. Or else this word vā has the sense of a restricted option (vavatthitavibhāsā), and then the meaning is that, among the vowels of the lemma that is the base (pakati), the initial vowel not followed by a conjunct is strengthened when a taddhita suffix with the letter ṇ follows.

Tena –

Hence —

Vāsiṭṭhādīsu niccāyaṃ, aniccoḷumpikādisu;
Na vuddhi nīlapītādo, vavatthitavibhāsato.

In vāsiṭṭha (“Vasiṭṭha’s offspring”) and the like this [strengthening] is invariable (nicca); in oḷumpika (“one who crosses by raft”) and the like it is optional (anicca);
in nīla (“dyed blue”), pīta (“dyed yellow”) and the like there is no strengthening — by the restricted option.

Ca saddaggahaṇamavadhāraṇatthaṃ.

The mention of the word ca is for restriction (avadhāraṇa).

Tassā vuddhiyā aniyamappasaṅge niyamatthaṃ paribhāsamāha.

Since that strengthening would otherwise apply without restriction, a metarule (paribhāsā) is stated to restrict it:


365 (§405): Ayuvaṇṇānañcāyo vuddhī (the vuddhi of a, i, u is ā, e, o) anvattha

Section titled “365 (§405): Ayuvaṇṇānañcāyo vuddhī (the vuddhi of a, i, u is ā, e, o) anvattha ”

Tesaṃ a kārai vaṇṇu vaṇṇānameva yathākkamaṃ ā eo iccete vuddhiyo honti. Ca saddaggahaṇamavuddhisampiṇḍanatthaṃ, avadhāraṇatthaṃ vā. I ca u ca yu, yu eva vaṇṇā yuvaṇṇā, a ca yuvaṇṇā ca ayuvaṇṇā. Ā ca e ca o ca āyo. Puna vuddhi ggahaṇaṃ ‘‘negamajānapadā’’tiādīsu uttarapadavuddhibhāvatthaṃ, ettha ca ‘‘ayuvaṇṇāna’’nti ṭhānaniyamavacanaṃ āyonaṃ vuddhibhāvappasaṅganivattanatthaṃ.

The strengthened forms (vuddhi) of those — of the letter a, the i-sound and the u-sound, and of those alone — are ā, e and o respectively. The mention of the word ca is either to include (sampiṇḍana) the absence of strengthening or for delimitation. i and u are yu; the sounds that are just yu are the yuvaṇṇā; a together with the yuvaṇṇā are the ayuvaṇṇā; and ā, e and o are āyo. vuddhi is mentioned again so that the last member (uttarapada) is strengthened in negamajānapadā (“townspeople and country people”) and the like; and here ayuvaṇṇānaṃ, the statement that restricts the locus (ṭhānaniyama), is there to stop (nivattana) ā, e and o from being liable to strengthening.

Yathā hi katavuddhīnaṃ, puna vuddhi na hotiha;
Tathā sabhāvavuddhīnaṃ, āyonaṃ puna vuddhi na.

For just as vowels already strengthened receive no second strengthening here,
so ā, e and o, which are strengthened by nature, receive no further strengthening.

Tato a kārassa ā kāro vuddhi, ‘‘saralopomādesappaccayādimhi saralope tu pakatī’’ti saralopapakatibhāvā, ‘‘naye paraṃ yutte’’ti paranayanaṃ katvā taddhitattā ‘‘taddhitasamāsa’’iccādinā nāmabyapadese kate pure viya syā dyuppatti.

Then the letter ā is the strengthening of the letter a; the vowel is elided and [the following vowel] keeps its natural form by §83 (67): Saralopo’ mādesa paccayādimhi saralope tu pakati; the [consonant] is joined on to what follows by §11 (14): Naye paraṃ yutte; and since the word is a taddhita, once it has been designated a noun by §601 (334): Taddhitasamāsakitakā nāmaṃ vā’ tave tunādīsu ca, the inflections si and the rest arise as before.

Vāsiṭṭho, vasiṭṭhassa putto vā, vāsiṭṭhā iccādi purisa saddasamaṃ. Tassa nattupanattādayopi tadupacārato vāsiṭṭhāyeva. Evaṃ sabbattha gottataddhite paṭhamappakatitoyeva paccayo hoti.

vāsiṭṭho (“Vasiṭṭha’s offspring”), or vasiṭṭhassa putto (“Vasiṭṭha’s son”); vāsiṭṭhā and so on, the same as the word purisa. His grandsons, great-grandsons and the rest are also just vāsiṭṭhā, by figurative use (upacāra) of that [name]. So in a clan derivative (gottataddhita) the suffix is everywhere used after the first base only.

Itthiyaṃ ṇappaccayantattā ‘‘ṇava ṇika ṇeyya ṇa ntūhī’’ti vāsiṭṭha saddato īpaccayo. Saralopādiṃ katvā itthippaccayantattā ‘‘taddhitasamāsa’’iccādisutte ca ggahaṇena nāmabyapadese kate syā dyuppatti, vāsiṭṭhī kaññā, vāsiṭṭhī, vāsiṭṭhiyo iccādi itthi saddasamaṃ.

In the feminine, because the word ends in the suffix ṇa, the suffix ī is used after the word vāsiṭṭha by §239 (190): Ṇava ṇika ṇeyya ṇa ntuhi. After the vowel elision and the rest, since the word ends in a feminine suffix, it is designated a noun by the mention of ca in the sutta beginning “Taddhitasamāsa” [§601], and the inflections si and the rest arise: vāsiṭṭhī kaññā (“a girl of Vasiṭṭha’s line”); vāsiṭṭhī, vāsiṭṭhiyo and so on, the same as the word itthī.

Napuṃsake vāsiṭṭhaṃ apaccaṃ, vāsiṭṭhāni apaccāni iccādi citta saddasamaṃ. Evaṃ uparipi taddhitantassa tiliṅgatā veditabbā.

In the neuter, vāsiṭṭhaṃ apaccaṃ (“Vasiṭṭha’s offspring”), vāsiṭṭhāni apaccāni and so on, the same as the word citta. In the same way, further on too, a word ending in a taddhita suffix should be understood to have all three genders (tiliṅgatā).

Bhāradvājassa putto bhāradvājo, vesāmittassa putto vesāmitto, gotamassa putto gotamo. Ettha ca ayuvaṇṇattābhāvā ā kārādīnaṃ na vuddhi hoti. Vasudevassa apaccaṃ vāsudevo, bāladevo1. ‘‘Cittako’’tiādīsu pana saṃyogantattā vuddhi na bhavati.

Bhāradvāja’s son is bhāradvājo, Vesāmitta’s son vesāmitto and Gotama’s son gotamo; here ā and the rest are not strengthened, because they are not a, i or u. Vasudeva’s offspring is vāsudevo; bāladevo (“Baladeva’s offspring”). In cittako (“Cittaka’s offspring”) and the like, however, there is no strengthening, because [the first vowel] is followed by a conjunct.

‘‘Vacchassa apacca’’nti viggahe ṇa mhi sampatte ‘‘vā ṇa’pacce’’ti ito vā ti taddhitavidhāne sabbattha vattate, tena sabbattha vākyavuttiyo bhavanti. ‘‘Apacce’’ti padaṃ yāva saṃsaṭṭha ggahaṇāva vattate.

In the analysis “Vaccha’s offspring”, when ṇa would apply, “vā” continues from 361 (§344): Vā ṇa’pacce everywhere in the treatment of the taddhita; hence everywhere both the phrase (vākya) and the derivative (vutti) occur. The word apacce continues only as far as the mention of saṃsaṭṭha.


366 (§345): Ṇāyana ṇāna vacchādito (ṇāyana, ṇāna after vaccha and the like) apavada

Section titled “366 (§345): Ṇāyana ṇāna vacchādito (ṇāyana, ṇāna after vaccha and the like) apavada ”

Vaccha kacca iccevamādito chaṭṭhiyantato gottagaṇato ṇāyana ṇāna iccete2 paccayā honti vā ‘‘tassāpacca’’miccetasmiṃ atthe. Sabbattha ṇa kārānubandho vuddhattho, sesaṃ pubbasamaṃ, saṃyogantattā vuddhiabhāvova viseso.

After the group of clan names (gottagaṇa) vaccha, kacca and the like, ending in the sixth form ⑥, the suffixes ṇāyana and ṇāna are optionally used in the sense “his offspring”. Everywhere the marker ṇ is there for the strengthening; the rest is the same as before, and the only difference is that there is no strengthening, because [the first vowel] is followed by a conjunct.

Vacchāyano vacchāno vacchassa putto vā. Evaṃ kaccassa putto kaccāyano kaccāno, moggallassa putto moggallāyano moggallāno. Evaṃ aggivessāyano aggivessāno, kaṇhāyano kaṇhāno, sākaṭāyano sākaṭāno, muñcāyano muñcāno, kuñjāyano kuñjāno iccādi. Ākatigaṇo’yaṃ.

vacchāyano, vacchāno (“Vaccha’s offspring”), or vacchassa putto (“Vaccha’s son”). Likewise Kacca’s son is kaccāyano, kaccāno, and Moggalla’s son moggallāyano, moggallāno; likewise aggivessāyano, aggivessāno (“Aggivessa’s son”); kaṇhāyano, kaṇhāno (“Kaṇha’s son”); sākaṭāyano, sākaṭāno (“Sakaṭa’s son”); muñcāyano, muñcāno (“Muñca’s son”); kuñjāyano, kuñjāno (“Kuñja’s son”), and so on. This is a group defined by form (ākatigaṇa).

‘‘Kattikāya apacca’’nti viggahe –

In the analysis “Kattikā’s offspring” —


367 (§346): Ṇeyyo kattikādīhi (ṇeyya after kattikā and the like) apavada

Section titled “367 (§346): Ṇeyyo kattikādīhi (ṇeyya after kattikā and the like) apavada ”

Ādi saddoyaṃ pakāre vattate. Kattikā vinatārohiṇī iccevamādīhi itthiyaṃ vattamānehi liṅgehi ṇeyya ppaccayo hoti vā ‘‘tassāpacca’’miccetasmiṃ atthe.

This word ādi occurs in the sense of “kind” (pakāra). After lemmas occurring in the feminine, of the kind of kattikā, vinatā and rohiṇī, the suffix ṇeyya is optionally used in the sense “his offspring”.

Vibhattilope ‘‘pakati cassa sarantassā’’ti pakatibhāvo. Kattikeyyo, kattikāya putto vā. Evaṃ vinatāya apaccaṃ venateyyo, i kārasse kāro vuddhi, rohiṇiyā putto rohiṇeyyo, gaṅgāya apaccaṃ gaṅgeyyo, bhaginiyā putto bhāgineyyo, nadiyāputto nādeyyo. Evaṃ anteyyo, āheyyo, kāmeyyo. Suciyā apaccaṃ soceyyo, ettha u kārasso kāro vuddhi, bālāya apaccaṃ bāleyyo iccādi.

When the inflection is elided, the lemma keeps its natural form (pakatibhāva) by §318 (333): Pakati cassa sarantassa: kattikeyyo (“Kattikā’s offspring”), or kattikāya putto (“Kattikā’s son”). Likewise Vinatā’s offspring is venateyyo, where the letter e is the strengthening of the letter i; Rohiṇī’s son is rohiṇeyyo, Gaṅgā’s offspring gaṅgeyyo, a sister’s (bhaginī) son bhāgineyyo and a river’s (nadī) son nādeyyo; likewise anteyyo, āheyyo, kāmeyyo. Suci’s offspring is soceyyo, where the letter o is the strengthening of the letter u; Bālā’s offspring is bāleyyo, and so on.

‘‘Dakkhassāpacca’’nti viggahe ṇamhi sampatte –

In the analysis “Dakkha’s offspring”, when ṇa would apply —


368 (§347): Ato ṇi vā (Optionally ṇi after a lemma in a) apavada

Section titled “368 (§347): Ato ṇi vā (Optionally ṇi after a lemma in a) apavada ”

A kārantato liṅgamhā ṇi paccayo hoti vā ‘‘tassāpacca’’miccetasmiṃ atthe. Dakkhi, dakkhī, dakkhayo, doṇassa apaccaṃ doṇi. Evaṃ vāsavi, sakyaputti, nāṭaputti, dāsaputti, dāsarathi. Vāruṇi, kaṇḍi, bāladevi, pāvaki, jinadattassa apaccaṃ jenadatti, suddhodani, anuruddhi iccādi.

After a lemma ending in the letter a, the suffix ṇi is optionally used in the sense “his offspring”: dakkhi (“Dakkha’s offspring”), dakkhī, dakkhayo; Doṇa’s offspring is doṇi. Likewise vāsavi (“Vāsava’s offspring”), sakyaputti (“Sakyaputta’s offspring”), nāṭaputti (“Nāṭaputta’s offspring”), dāsaputti (“Dāsaputta’s offspring”), dāsarathi (“Dasaratha’s offspring”); vāruṇi (“Varuṇa’s offspring”), kaṇḍi (“Kaṇḍa’s offspring”), bāladevi (“Baladeva’s offspring”), pāvaki (“Pāvaka’s offspring”); Jinadatta’s offspring is jenadatti; suddhodani (“Suddhodana’s offspring”), anuruddhi (“Anuruddha’s offspring”), and so on.

Puna vā ggahaṇena apaccatthe ṇika ppaccayo, aditi ādito ṇya ppaccayo ca. Yathā – sakyaputtassa putto sakyaputtiko, ‘‘tesu vuddhī’’tiādinā ka kārassa ya kāro, sakyaputtiyo. Evaṃ nāṭaputtiko, jenadattiko, vimātuyā putto vemātiko.

By the repeated mention of vā, the suffix ṇika is used in the sense of offspring, and the suffix ṇya after aditi and the like. For instance, Sakyaputta’s son is sakyaputtiko, and with the letter k replaced by the letter y by §404 (370): Tesu vuddhilopāgamavikāraviparītādesā ca, sakyaputtiyo; likewise nāṭaputtiko (“Nāṭaputta’s son”), jenadattiko (“Jinadatta’s son”); a step-mother’s (vimātu) son is vemātiko.

‘‘Aditiyā putto’’ti atthe ṇya ppaccayo, vuddhi ca.

In the sense “Aditi’s son”, the suffix ṇya [is used], and the strengthening —


369 (§261): Avaṇṇo ye lopañca (a/ā elided before the suffix ya) apavada

Section titled “369 (§261): Avaṇṇo ye lopañca (a/ā elided before the suffix ya) apavada ”

A vaṇṇo taddhitabhūte ya ppaccaye pare lopamāpajjate. Ca saddena ivaṇṇopīti i kāralopo, ‘‘yavataṃ talanadakārānaṃ byañjanāni ca la ña jakāratta’’nti tya kārasaṃyogassa ca kāro, ‘‘paradvebhāvo ṭhāne’’ti dvittaṃ, ādicco. Evaṃ ditiyā putto decco.

The a-vowel is elided when the taddhita suffix ya follows, and by the word ca the i-vowel too. Hence the letter i is elided, the conjunct ty becomes the letter c by §269 (41): Yavataṃ ta la ṇa dakārānaṃ byañjanāni ca la ña jakārattaṃ, and it is doubled (dvitta) by §28 (40): Para dvebhāvo ṭhāne: ādicco (“Aditi’s son”). Likewise Diti’s son is decco.

‘‘Kuṇḍaniyā putto’’ti atthe ṇya ppaccaye kate –

When the suffix ṇya has been added in the sense “Kuṇḍanī’s son” —

‘‘Kvacādimajjhuttaresū’’ti vattate.

“Kvacādimajjhuttaresu” (“in some places, in the first, middle and last [positions]”) continues from §403 (354): Kvacādimajjhuttarānaṃ dīgharassā paccayesu ca.


370 (§404): Tesu vuddhilopāgamavikāraviparītādesā ca (and in these, vuddhi, elision, insertion, modification, metathesis, replacement) apavada

Section titled “370 (§404): Tesu vuddhilopāgamavikāraviparītādesā ca (and in these, vuddhi, elision, insertion, modification, metathesis, replacement) apavada ”

Tesu ādimajjhuttaresu avihitalakkhaṇesu jinavacanānuparodhena kvaci vuddhi lopa āgama vikāra viparītaādesā hontīti saṃyogantattepi ādivuddhi, i kāralope nya ssañā deso, koṇḍañño, kuruno putto korabyo, etthāpi teneva u kārassa avā deso, bhātuno putto bhātabyo.

In these — the first, middle and last [positions] — where no rule has been laid down, strengthening (vuddhi), elision (lopa), insertion (āgama), modification (vikāra), metathesis (viparīta) and replacement (ādesa) take place in some places (kvaci), without conflicting with the word of the Conqueror. Hence the initial vowel is strengthened even though it is followed by a conjunct, and when the letter i is elided ny is replaced by ñ: koṇḍañño (“Kuṇḍanī’s son”). Kuru’s son is korabyo, and here too, by the same rule, the letter u is replaced by ava; a brother’s (bhātu) son is bhātabyo.

‘‘Upagussa apacca’’nti viggahe –

In the analysis “Upagu’s offspring” —


371 (§348): Ṇavopagvādīhi (ṇava after upaku and the like) apavada

Section titled “371 (§348): Ṇavopagvādīhi (ṇava after upaku and the like) apavada ”

Upagu manu iccevamādīhi u kārantehi gottagaṇehi ṇava ppaccayo hoti vā ‘‘tassāpacca’’miccetasmiṃ atthe. Ādi saddassa cettha pakāravācakattā u kārantatoyevāyaṃ.

After clan names (gottagaṇa) ending in the letter u, of the kind of upagu and manu, the suffix ṇava is optionally used in the sense “his offspring”; and since the word ādi here expresses “kind”, this suffix comes only after [lemmas] ending in the letter u. opagavo (“Upagu’s offspring”), opagavī, opagavaṃ; Manu’s offspring is mānavo, while mānuso is the form when the suffix ṇa is used and the insertion (āgama) of s is made; Bhaggu’s offspring is bhaggavo, Paṇḍu’s offspring paṇḍavo, Upavindu’s offspring opavindavo, and so on.

‘‘Vidhavāya apacca’’nti atthe –

In the sense “a widow’s offspring” —


372 (§349): Ṇera vidhavādito (ṇera after vidhavā and the like) apavada

Section titled “372 (§349): Ṇera vidhavādito (ṇera after vidhavā and the like) apavada ”

Vidhavā dito ṇera ppaccayo hoti vā apaccatthe. Vigato dhavo pati etissāti vidhavā, vedhavero, bandhukiyā abhisāriṇiyā putto bandhukero, samaṇassa upajjhāyassa putto puttaṭṭhāniyattāti sāmaṇero, nāḷikero iccādi.

After vidhavā and the like, the suffix ṇera is optionally used in the sense of offspring. A vidhavā (widow) is a woman whose husband (dhava), her lord, is gone; [her son is] vedhavero (“a widow’s son”). The son of a bandhukī, a woman who goes out to her lovers (abhisāriṇī), is bandhukero; the son of an ascetic (samaṇa), that is, of a preceptor, is sāmaṇero (“a novice”), because he stands in the place of a son; nāḷikero, and so on.


Apaccataddhitaṃ.

[Here end] the suffixes of descent.


Saṃsaṭṭhādianekatthataddhita (Suffixes of relation and other senses)

Section titled “Saṃsaṭṭhādianekatthataddhita (Suffixes of relation and other senses)”

‘‘Tilena saṃsaṭṭha’’nti viggahe –

In the analysis “mixed with sesame” —


373 (§350): Yena vā saṃsaṭṭhaṃ tarati carati vahati ṇiko (ṇika for “mixed with”, “crosses by”, “goes by”, “carries by” that) apavada

Section titled “373 (§350): Yena vā saṃsaṭṭhaṃ tarati carati vahati ṇiko (ṇika for “mixed with”, “crosses by”, “goes by”, “carries by” that) apavada ”

Yena vā saṃsaṭṭhaṃ, yena vā tarati, yena vā carati, yena vā vahati, tato tatiyantato liṅgamhā tesu saṃsaṭṭhādīsvatthesu ṇika ppaccayo hoti vā. Telikaṃ bhojanaṃ, tilena abhisaṅkhatanti attho. Telikī yāgu. Guḷena saṃsaṭṭhaṃ goḷikaṃ3. Evaṃ ghātikaṃ, dādhikaṃ, māricikaṃ, loṇikaṃ.

After a lemma ending in the third form ③ — that with which something is mixed, by which one crosses, by which one goes or by which one carries — the suffix ṇika is optionally used in those senses, “mixed with” and the rest: telikaṃ bhojanaṃ (“food mixed with sesame”), meaning prepared (abhisaṅkhata) with sesame; telikī yāgu (“gruel mixed with sesame”); mixed with molasses (guḷa), goḷikaṃ; likewise ghātikaṃ (“mixed with ghee”), dādhikaṃ (“with curds”), māricikaṃ (“with pepper”), loṇikaṃ (“with salt”).

Nāvāya taratīti nāviko, uḷumpena taratīti oḷumpiko, vuddhiabhāvapakkhe uḷumpiko. Evaṃ kulliko, gopucchiko. Sakaṭena caratīti sākaṭiko. Evaṃ pādiko, daṇḍiko, dhammena carati pavattatīti dhammiko. Sīsena vahatīti sīsiko, vā ggahaṇena ī kārassa vuddhi na hoti. Evaṃ aṃsiko, khandhiko, hatthiko, aṅguliko.

One who crosses by boat (nāvā) is nāviko; one who crosses by raft (uḷumpa) is oḷumpiko, or uḷumpiko on the alternative without strengthening; likewise kulliko (“one who crosses by a kulla raft”), gopucchiko (“by a cow’s tail”). One who goes by cart (sakaṭa) is sākaṭiko; likewise pādiko (“one who goes on foot”), daṇḍiko (“with a staff”); one who goes, that is, proceeds (pavattati), by the Dhamma is dhammiko. One who carries on the head (sīsa) is sīsiko, and by the mention of vā the letter ī is not strengthened; likewise aṃsiko (“one who carries on the shoulder”), khandhiko (“on the back”), hatthiko (“in the hand”), aṅguliko (“with the fingers”).

Puna vā ggahaṇena aññatthesupi ṇika ppaccayo, paradāraṃ gacchatīti pāradāriko, pathaṃ gacchatīti pathiko.

By the repeated mention of vā, the suffix ṇika is used in other senses as well: one who goes to another’s wife (paradāra) is pāradāriko, and one who goes along the road (patha) is pathiko.

‘‘Vinayamadhīte, aveccādhīte’’ti vā viggahe –

In the analysis “he studies the Vinaya”, or “he studies [it] thoroughly (avecca)” —

‘‘Ṇiko’’ti vattate.

“ṇiko” continues.


374 (§351): Tamadhīte tenakatādisannidhānaniyogasippabhaṇḍajīvikatthesu ca (And ṇika for “studies that”, “made by that” and the like, location, appointment, craft, goods, livelihood) apavada

Section titled “374 (§351): Tamadhīte tenakatādisannidhānaniyogasippabhaṇḍajīvikatthesu ca (And ṇika for “studies that”, “made by that” and the like, location, appointment, craft, goods, livelihood) apavada ”

Section titled “375 (§401): Māyūnamāgamo ṭhāne (no vuddhi of initial i, u; the insertion of e, o in its place) apavada ”

I u iccetesaṃ4 ādisarānaṃ asaṃyogantānaṃ mā vuddhi hoti saṇe, tatreva vuddhi āgamo hoti ca ṭhāneti ekāravuddhāgamo.

The initial vowels i and u, when not followed by a conjunct, are not strengthened (mā vuddhi) before a ṇ [suffix]; instead, right there in its place (ṭhāne), the strengthened vowel comes as an insertion (āgama). Hence the insertion of the strengthened vowel e.

‘‘Ṭhāne’’ti vacanā cettha, yū namādesabhūtato;
Yave hi pubbeva eo-vuddhiyo honti āgamā.

And here, because of the word ṭhāne, it is before what stands as the replacement of i and u,
that is, only before y and v, that the strengthened vowels e and o come as insertions.

Ya kārassa dvibhāvo.

The letter y is doubled.

Section titled “376 (§352): Ṇa rāgā tenarattaṃ tassedamaññatthesu ca (ṇa after a dye for “dyed with that”; and for “this is his” and other senses) apavada ”

Rāgatthavācakā liṅgamhā ‘‘tena ratta’’miccetasmiṃ atthe, ‘‘tasse’’ti chaṭṭhiyantato ‘‘ida’’miccetasmiṃ atthe ca aññatthesu ca ṇa ppaccayo hoti vā.

The suffix ṇa is optionally used after a lemma that expresses a dye (rāga) in the sense “dyed with that”, after a lemma ending in the sixth form ⑥ — tassa (“his”) — in the sense “this [is his]”, and in other senses too.

Kāsāvaṃ vatthaṃ. Evaṃ kāsāyaṃ, kusumbhena rattaṃ kosumbhaṃ, haliddiyā rattaṃ hāliddaṃ, pattaṅgaṃ, mañjiṭṭhaṃ, kuṅkumaṃ, nīlena rattaṃ nīlaṃ. Evaṃ pītaṃ.

377 (§402): Āttañca (and ā [for initial i, u], with the insertion of ri) apavada

Section titled “377 (§402): Āttañca (and ā [for initial i, u], with the insertion of ri) apavada ”

I u iccetesaṃ ādisarānaṃ ā ttañca hoti saṇa kārappaccaye pare, ca saddena ri kārāgamo ca ṭhāneti i kārassa ā ttaṃ.

The initial vowels i and u also become ā when a suffix with the letter ṇ follows, and by the word ca there is also the insertion (āgama) of the letter ri, in its place (ṭhāne). Hence the letter i becomes ā.

Ṭhānādhikārato āttaṃ, isūsabhaujādinaṃ;
Isissa tu rikārāga-mo cāttānantare bhave.

By the governing rule (adhikāra) ṭhāne, isi, usabha, uju and the like take ā;
but for isi the letter ri is inserted as well, immediately after the ā.

Ārisyaṃ, usabhassa idaṃ āsabhaṃ ṭhānaṃ, āsabhī vācā.

Yathā – vidisāya avidūre bhavo vediso gāmo, udumbarassa avidūre bhavaṃ odumbaraṃ vimānaṃ.

By the mention of aññattha (“in other senses”), however, the suffix ṇa is used also in senses such as these: existing not far from that, existing there, born there, come from there, that is his dwelling, lord of that, the month joined with Kattikā and the rest, that is his deity, studies that thoroughly, the region that is the domain of that [people], [something] exists in that region, produced by that, deserves that, a modification of that, that is its measure. For example, a village that exists not far from Vidisā is vediso gāmo, and a palace that exists not far from a fig tree (udumbara) is odumbaraṃ vimānaṃ.

Bhavatthe manasi bhavaṃ mānasaṃ sukhaṃ, sāgamo. Sare bhavo sāraso sakuṇo, sārasā sakuṇī, sārasaṃ pupphaṃ, urasi bhavo oraso putto, urasi saṃvaḍḍhitattā, mitte bhavā mettā, mettī vā, pure bhavā porī vācā.

A person born in Mathurā is māthuro jano; so too māthurā gaṇikā (“a courtesan of Mathurā”) and māthuraṃ vatthaṃ (“cloth of Mathurā”). One come from Mathurā is māthuro; one whose dwelling is Mathurā is māthuro; the lord of Mathurā is māthuro rājā. Because sabbato is mentioned again in §178 (224): Sabbato ko, the letter ka with its vowel is inserted in some places (kvaci) even after a taddhita [suffix]: māthurako as well. One born in Rājagaha, come from Rājagaha, whose dwelling is Rājagaha, or the lord of Rājagaha, is rājagaho or rājagahako.

Bhaddena yutto māso bhaddo, assayujena yutto māso assayujo, buddho assa devatāti buddho. Evaṃ sogato, māhindo, yāmo, somo.

In the sense of conjunction with a constellation (nakkhattayoga): the month joined with Kattikā when she is joined with the full moon is kattiko; the month joined with the constellation Magasira when it is joined with the moon is māgasiro. Likewise the month joined with Phussa is phusso, with Maghā māgho, with Phaggunī phagguno, with Cittā citto, with Visākhā vesākho, with Jeṭṭhā jeṭṭho, with Uttarāsāḷhā āsāḷho or āsāḷhī, with Savaṇa sāvaṇo, sāvaṇī, with Bhadda bhaddo, and with Assayuja assayujo.

After sati (“mindfulness”) and the like, lemmas in the first form ① that do not end in a or ā, the suffix mantu is used in the sense “he has that”; the rest is the same as for guṇavantu. satimā (“mindful”), satimatī, satimantī (“a mindful woman”), satimaṃ (“mindful”, neuter). In the same way dhitimā (“resolute”), gatimā (“retentive”), and so on.

A number (saṅkhyā) is completed (pūrayati) by it: hence a completer (pūraṇa); and the completer of a number is a saṅkhyāpūraṇa (an ordinal). In that sense of completing a number, after a word in the sixth form ⑥ the suffix ma is used: pañcamo (“the fifth”); pañcannaṃ pūraṇī (“the completer of five”, feminine): pañcamī, with the suffix ī by §238 (187): Nadādito vā ī; with the suffix ā by §237 (176): Itthīyamato āpaccayo: pañcamā vīriyapāramī (“the fifth perfection, energy”); pañcamaṃ jhānaṃ (“the fifth jhāna”).

dvi and ti are replaced by du and ta when the suffix tiya follows: dutiyo puriso (“the second man”), dutiyā, dutiyaṃ. In the same way tiṇṇaṃ pūraṇo (“the completer of three”): tatiyo (“the third”), tatiyā, tatiyaṃ. By the mention of api, the word dvi is replaced by du elsewhere too, and by the word ca, by di as well: dve rattiyo (“two nights”): durattaṃ; duvidhaṃ (“twofold”), duvaṅgaṃ (“two-membered”); dirattaṃ (“two nights”), diguṇaṃ (“double”), digu (“two cows”, the numerical compound).

Of these, catuttha (“fourth”), dutiya (“second”) and tatiya (“third”), when aḍḍha (“half”) is their accompanying word (upapada), are replaced, together with that preceding word aḍḍha, by aḍḍhuḍḍha, divaḍḍha, diyaḍḍha and aḍḍhatiya.

Ettha ca –

And here —

When a dvanda compound has been made in the sense ekaṃ ca dasa ca (“one and ten”), or a tappurisa compound in the sense ekena adhikā dasa (“ten exceeded by one”), then, while “saṅkhyāne” (“in a numeral”) continues, the change to ā is made by §383 (253): Dvekaṭṭhānamākāro vā. This word vā has the sense of a restricted option (vavatthitavibhāsā).

Tena cettha –

And therefore here —

Dvekaṭṭhānaṃ dase niccaṃ, dvissā’navutiyā navā;
Itaresa’masantañca, āttaṃ dīpeti vā suti.

Constant for dvi, eka and aṭṭha before dasa, in some places (navā) for dvi as far as navuti,
and absent for the rest: such is the change to ā that the word vā shows.

‘‘Ekādito dasara saṅkhyāne’’ti rattaṃ.

The change to r is made by §381 (254): Ekādito dassa ra saṅkhyāne.

Rā deso vaṇṇamattattā, vaṇṇamattappasaṅgipi;
Siyā dasassa dasseva, nimittāsannabhāvato.

Though the replacement ra, being a mere letter, could apply to any mere letter,
let it be of the d of dasa alone, because of the nearness of the condition (nimitta).

Tato bahuvacanaṃ yo, ‘‘pañcādīnamakāro’’ti savibhattissa antassa a ttaṃ. Ekārasa, ekādasa, liṅgattayepi samānaṃ.

Then comes the plural yo, and by §134 (251): Pañcādīnamakāro the final together with its inflection becomes a: ekārasa, ekādasa (“eleven”), the same in all three genders too.

‘‘Vā’’ti vattate.

“vā” continues.

Section titled “412 (§375): Ekādito dasassī (Optionally ī after dasa preceded by eka and the like: the feminine ordinal) apavada ”

E kādito parassa dasa ssa ante īpaccayo hoti vā pūraṇatthe.

After dasa preceded by eka and the like, the suffix ī is optionally added at the end, in the sense of completing a number.

Dasassa paccayāyogā, laddhamanteti atthato;
Tadantassa sabhāvena, itthiyaṃyeva sambhavo.

Since a suffix cannot be joined to dasa, the word ante (“at the end”) is obtained from the sense;
and by the nature of what ends in that ī, it occurs in the feminine alone.

Ekādasannaṃ pūraṇī e kādasī, aññatra ekādasamo, ekādasamaṃ.

ekādasannaṃ pūraṇī (“the completer of eleven”): ekādasī (“the eleventh”); elsewhere ekādasamo, ekādasamaṃ (“the eleventh”, masculine and neuter).

pañca ca dasa ca (“five and ten”), or pañcahi adhikā dasa (“ten exceeded by five”): pañcadasa (“fifteen”). By §404 (370): Tesu vuddhilopāgamavikāraviparītādesā ca the word pañca is also replaced by panna and paṇṇa before dasa and vīsa, and the change to r is made by §382 (259): Aṭṭhādito ca: pannarasa, pañcadasa. pannarasamo, pañcadasamo (“the fifteenth”); pannarasī, pañcadasī.

When the compound has been made in the sense cha ca dasa ca (“six and ten”), or chahi adhikā dasa (“ten exceeded by six”), then, while “chassa” (“of cha”) continues, it is replaced by so by §376 (257): Dase so niccañca; “saṅkhyānaṃ” and “vā” also continue, and the change to l is made by §379 (258): La darānaṃ. This word vā has the sense of a restricted option (vavatthitavibhāsā).

Ḷo niccaṃ soḷase dassa, cattālīse ca terase;
Aññatra na ca hotāyaṃ, vavatthitavibhāsato.

ḷ for the d is constant in soḷasa, and occurs in cattālīsa and terasa;
elsewhere it does not occur at all, by the restricted option.

Laḷānamaviseso kvaci, soḷasa. Teḷasa, cattālīsaṃ, cattārīsaṃ. Soḷasamo, soḷasī.

In some places there is no distinction between l and ḷ: soḷasa (“sixteen”); teḷasa (“thirteen”); cattālīsaṃ, cattārīsaṃ (“forty”). soḷasamo, soḷasī (“the sixteenth”).

With “vā” and “dasara saṅkhyāne” (§381 (254): Ekādito dassa ra saṅkhyāne) governing, the change to r is made by §382 (259): Aṭṭhādito ca: aṭṭhārasa, aṭṭhādasa (“eighteen”), with the change to ā. aṭṭhārasannaṃ pūraṇo (“the completer of eighteen”): aṭṭhārasamo, aṭṭhādasamo (“the eighteenth”). In the same way sattarasa, sattadasa (“seventeen”); sattarasamo, sattadasamo (“the seventeenth”).

Aṭṭhādito ti kimatthaṃ? Catuddasa.

By saying aṭṭhādito (“after aṭṭha and the like”) we exclude the change to r after the other numerals: catuddasa (“fourteen”).

ekena ūnā vīsati (“twenty less by one”), a tappurisa: ekūnavīsati (“nineteen”). ekūnavīsati and the rest, as far as navuti, should be understood as singular and feminine, and they occur both in the sense of the number (saṅkhyāna) and in that of the thing counted (saṅkhyeyya). When they occur in the sense of the number: bhikkhūnaṃ ekūnavīsati tiṭṭhati (“a nineteen of monks stands”), bhoti bhikkhūnaṃ ekūnavīsati tiṭṭhatu (“O nineteen of monks, let it stand!”), bhikkhūnaṃ ekūnavīsatiṃ passa (“see the nineteen of monks”), bhikkhūnaṃ ekūnavīsatiyā kataṃ (“done by the nineteen of monks”), and so on.

In counting, when dasa belongs to a set of two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine and one alone has been left, it is replaced in order by vī, ti, cattāra, paññā, cha, satta, asa and nava when yo follows, and the yo is replaced by īsaṃ, āsaṃ, ṭhi, ri, ti, īti and uti. So the dasa that expresses two tens is replaced by vī, and the inflection yo by īsaṃ; then the elision of the vowel and the rest.

The word dasa that is included in counting and expresses ten tens becomes sataṃ, and the dasa that expresses a hundred tens becomes sahassaṃ, when yo follows. By this direct statement (nipātana) the yo is elided; since the word is a taddhita, it is treated as a noun again and the inflections si and the rest arise; the niggahīta is elided, and si is replaced by aṃ by §219 (195): Siṃ: yojanānaṃ sataṃ (“a hundred leagues”), sahassaṃ (“a thousand”). sataṃ is neuter and singular, and so is sahassaṃ; when groups are distinguished, the plural occurs everywhere too: dve vīsatiyo (“two twenties”). In the same way with tiṃsa and the rest too: dve satāni (“two hundreds”), bahūni satāni (“many hundreds”), dve sahassāni (“two thousands”), bahūni sahassāni (“many thousands”).

Evaṃ tisataṃ, catusataṃ iccādi.

Having made a tappurisa of the sixth form ⑥ in the sense satassa dvikaṃ (“a pair of hundred”), when sataṃ dvikaṃ would have to be said, then, because the vutti says “dvika and the rest, together with the words that follow them, are laid down”, by this direct statement (nipātana) the later member is placed first and the ka is elided: dvisataṃ (“two hundred”). In the same way satassa tikaṃ (“a triad of hundred”), tisataṃ (“three hundred”); likewise catusataṃ (“four hundred”), pañcasataṃ (“five hundred”), chasataṃ (“six hundred”), sattasataṃ (“seven hundred”), aṭṭhasataṃ (“eight hundred”), navasataṃ (“nine hundred”), and dasasataṃ (“ten hundred”) is sahassaṃ (“a thousand”). Or else dve satāni (“two hundreds”), dvisataṃ, a digu compound; in the same way tisataṃ, catusataṃ, and so on.

As far as the numbers go beyond those numerals, so far is each also to be made by multiplying by ten; here the letter d is born of sandhi. For example: the number ten multiplied by ten is a hundred (sataṃ); a hundred multiplied by ten is a thousand (sahassaṃ); a thousand multiplied by ten is ten thousand (dasasahassaṃ), which is also called nahutaṃ; ten thousand multiplied by ten is a hundred thousand (satasahassaṃ), which is also called lakkhaṃ; a hundred thousand multiplied by ten is ten hundred thousand (dasasatasahassaṃ).

But the forms of those numbers whose names have not been stated are laid down by their own names. A hundred hundred-thousands is a koṭi (“ten million”, 10⁷), feminine and singular, and plural when groups are distinguished; a hundred hundred-thousand koṭi is a pakoṭi (10¹⁴); a hundred hundred-thousand pakoṭi is a koṭippakoṭi (10²¹). In the same way nahutaṃ (10²⁸), ninnahutaṃ (10³⁵), akkhobhinī (10⁴²), bindu (10⁴⁹), abbudaṃ (10⁵⁶), nirabbudaṃ (10⁶³), ahahaṃ (10⁷⁰), ababaṃ (10⁷⁷), aṭaṭaṃ (10⁸⁴), sogandhikaṃ (10⁹¹), uppalaṃ (10⁹⁸), kumudaṃ (10¹⁰⁵), puṇḍarīkaṃ (10¹¹²), padumaṃ (10¹¹⁹), kathānaṃ (10¹²⁶), mahākathānaṃ (10¹³³) and asaṅkhyeyyaṃ (“the incalculable”, 10¹⁴⁰).

Iccevaṃ ṭhānato ṭhānaṃ, satalakkhaguṇaṃ mataṃ;

Thus, from place to place, each is held to be a hundred lakkha times the one before,
for the twenty numbers beginning with koṭi, in their order.

After the numerals dvi and the rest, the suffix ka is used in the sense of more than one (anekattha): dviko rāsi (“a heap of two”), dvikaṃ (“a pair”). In the same way tikaṃ (“a group of three”), catukkaṃ (“of four”), pañcakaṃ (“of five”), chakkaṃ (“of six”), sattakaṃ (“of seven”), aṭṭhakaṃ (“of eight”), navakaṃ (“of nine”), dasakaṃ (“of ten”), paṇṇāsakaṃ (“of fifty”), satakaṃ (“of a hundred”), sahassakaṃ (“of a thousand”), and so on.

After the numerals eka, dvi, ti and the rest, in place of sakiṃ (“once”), the suffix kkhattuṃ is used in the sense of occasions: ekakkhattuṃ (“once”), dvikkhattuṃ bhuñjati (“he eats twice”); the si is elided by §221 (282): Sabbāsamāvuso pasagganipātādīhi ca. In the same way tikkhattuṃ (“three times”), catukkhattuṃ (“four times”), pañcakkhattuṃ (“five times”), chakkhattuṃ (“six times”), sattakkhattuṃ (“seven times”), aṭṭhakkhattuṃ (“eight times”), navakkhattuṃ (“nine times”), dasakkhattuṃ (“ten times”), satakkhattuṃ (“a hundred times”), sahassakkhattuṃ (“a thousand times”), bahukkhattuṃ (“many times”), katikkhattuṃ (“how many times?”).

Evaṃ sabbathā, aññathā, itarathā, ubhayathā, thattā paccaye tena pakārena tathattā. Evaṃ yathattā, aññathattā.

After pronouns, the suffix thā is used in the sense of the expression of manner (pakāravacana), and by the word tu the suffix thattā as well. The manner (pakāra) is the particular that distinguishes the general; the meaning is “in the expression of that”. so pakāro (“that manner”), tathā (“thus”); taṃ pakāraṃ (“that manner”, ②), tathā; tena pakārena (“by that manner”), tathā; yena pakārena (“by which manner”), yathā (“as”).

After kiṃ and ima, the suffix thaṃ is used in the sense of the expression of manner. By the word ca in §227 (270): Kissa ka ve ca, kiṃ is replaced by ka: kathaṃ (“how?”); kaṃ pakāraṃ (“what manner?”, ②), kathaṃ; kena pakārena (“by what manner?”), kathaṃ. ayaṃ pakāro (“this manner”), itthaṃ (“thus”); imaṃ pakāraṃ, itthaṃ; anena pakārena (“by this manner”), itthaṃ; by §234 (265): Imassi thaṃ dāni ha to dhesu ca the word ima becomes the letter i, and there is doubling. Here, indeed, the words ending in the suffixes from kkhattuṃ to thaṃ are uninflected derivatives (abyayataddhita), so once they have been treated as nouns and an inflection has been added, that inflection is elided by §221 (282): Sabbāsamāvuso pasagganipātādīhi ca; and the words ending in to and the other suffixes taught from §248 (260): Kvaci to pañcamyatthe onward are also included right here, among the uninflected derivatives.

Ye saddā lakkhaṇena anupapannā a niddiṭṭhalakkhaṇā akkharādito, nāmopasagganipātato vā samāsataddhitādito vā, te nipātanā sijjhanti.

Those words which are not accounted for by a rule (lakkhaṇa), for which no rule has been stated — whether from the letters and the rest, from nouns, prefixes and particles, or from compounds, taddhita and the rest — are established by direct statement (nipātana).

Taddhitato tāva –

From the taddhita first —

Imasmā jja siyā kāle, samānāparato jju ca;
Imasaddassa’kāro ca, samānassa ca so siyā.

After ima, in the sense of time, let there be jja, and jju after samāna and apara;
and let the word ima become the letter a, and samāna become sa.

imasmiṃ kāle (“at this time”), or imasmiṃ divase (“on this day”): ajja (“today”). samāne kāle (“at the same time”): sajju (“at once”). aparasmiṃ divase (“on the following day”): aparajju (“the next day”). After particles, the suffix tana is used in the sense of being (bhava): ajja bhavaṃ (“being today”), ajjatanaṃ (“of today”); ajja bhavā, ajjatanī (“of today”: the aorist tense); sve bhavaṃ (“being tomorrow”), svātanaṃ (“of tomorrow”). In the same way purātanaṃ (“of old”); hiyyo bhavaṃ (“being yesterday”), hiyyattanaṃ (“of yesterday”); hiyyo bhavā, hiyyattanī (“of yesterday”: the imperfect tense); and so on.


Abyayataddhitaṃ.

[Thus ends] the abyayataddhita, the uninflected derivatives.


Sāmaññavuttibhāvatthā-byayato taddhitaṃ tidhā;
Tatrādi catudhāpaccā-nekatthassatthisaṅkhyāto.

The taddhita is threefold: of general application, in the abstract sense, and uninflected;
the first of these is fourfold: of descent, of many senses, of possession and of number.
