Why say “sometimes”? [To prevent the operation of this rule in the following examples] “Idha modati pecca modati”, “patilīyati”, “paṭihaññati”.
“Idha modati pecca modati.” Here the vowels ‘a’ of “idha” and “pecca” remain unchanged before the consonants.
“Patilīyati”: pati + lī + ya + ti.
“Paṭihaññati”: paṭi + hana + ya + ti.
Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
