230. 262. Tra-to-thesu ca (460)

[Tra-to-thesu + ca = 2 words]

Kim icc etassa ku hoti tra to tha icc etesu ca.

Kutra, kuto, kuttha.

Caggahaṇam anukaḍḍhanatthaṃ.

And when ‘tra’, ‘to’ and ‘tha’ follow.

When ‘tra’, ‘to’ and ‘tha’ follow, “kiṃ” becomes “ku”.

Examples

Kutra = kiṃ + tra (“kiṃ” is substituted by “ku” (§230)).
Kuto = kiṃ + to (“kiṃ” is substituted by “ku” (§230)).
Kuttha = kiṃ + tha (“kiṃ” is substituted by “ku” (§230); ‘t’ is doubled (§28)).

The taking of “ca” is for dragging.

Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
