- Etarahi = ima + rahi (‘rahi’ is used in the meaning of the seventh inflection to indicate time (§259); “ima” is substituted by “eta” (§236)).
- Adhunā = ima + dhunā (‘dhunā’ is used in the meaning of the seventh inflection to indicate time (§259); “ima” is substituted by ‘a’ (§235)).
- Idāni = ima + dāni (‘dāni’ is used in the meaning of the seventh inflection to indicate time (§259); “ima” is substituted by ‘i’ (§234)).
The taking of “ca” is for the dragging of ‘dāni’.
