झो ऽन्तः

The word प्रत्यय is understood here, but not so the word आदिः ॥ Thus झि becomes अन्ति and झ becomes अन्त 3.4.78. As कुर्वन्ति, सुन्वन्ति and चिन्वन्ति, so also शयान्तै, the लेट् of शीङ् ॥ Thus शी + लेट् = शी + शप् + आट् + झ 3.4.54 = शी + शप् + आ + झे 3.4.79 = शी + शप् + आ + झै 3.4.96 = शी + शप् + आ + अन्तै 7.1.3 = शी + आ + अन्तै = शयान्तै (after guna): as अद्य श्वो विजगिष्यमाणाः पतिभिः सह शयान्तै ॥ So also in the Unadi affix झच् (Unadi III. 126): as जृ + झच् = जरन्तः, वेशन्तः ॥ This substitution does not take place when झ is not part of an affix: as उञ्झिता, उञ्झितुम्, उञ्झितव्यम् ॥ Here also the accent falls on the substitute, according as it is चित् or otherwise. Thus the substitute अन्त of झ is first-acute by the rule 3.1.3; but the substitute अन्त of झच् is final acute because of the indicatory च (VI. I. 763) ॥,
