दा-धा घ्व्-अदाप्

This defines the word ghu. Four verbs have the form of दा, or assume it by the application of 6.1.45, and two, of धा; they are called घु. The ghu verbs have certain peculiarities of conjugation to be described hereafter.

The घु verbs are the following:- डुदाञ् \to give,\ as प्रणिददाति; दाण् \to give,\ as, प्रणिदाता; दो \to cut,\ as, प्रणिद्यति; देङ् \to pity\ as, प्रणिदयते, डुधाञ् \to place\ as प्रणिदधाति, धेट् to \feed\ as, प्रणिधयति.

In the above examples, because of the verbs being घु, the न of प्रनि is changed into ण by 8.4.17.

Similarly दाप् \to cut\ and दैप् \to clean\ not being called घु, rules 7.4.46 and 7.4.47 do not apply to them. Thus दा+क्त = दातं 'what is cut,' as, दातं बर्हिः. So also अवदातं \washed\ as, अवदातं मुखं \a bright face.\ But with दा \to give,\ &c. दा+क्त = दद्+त 7.4.46 = दत्तः \given;\ so also we have प्र+दा+क्त = प्रत्तम् 7.4.47. The word घु occurs in sûtra 6.4.66, &c. The word dåp includes also daip by the paribhâshâ given under 3.4.19, ऐ changed into आ by 6.1.45.,
