432. 362. Dhātu-liṅgehi parā paccayā (905)

[Dhātuliṅgehi + parā + paccayā = 3 words]

Dhātu-liṅga icc etehi parā paccayā honti.

Karoti, gacchati. Yo koci karoti, taṃ añño “karohi karohi” icc evaṃ bravīti, atha vā karontaṃ payojayati = kāreti. Saṃgho pabbatam iva attānam ācarati = pabbatāyati. Taḷākaṃ samuddam iva attānam ācarati = samuddāyati. Saddo cicciṭam iva attānam ācarati = cicciṭāyati (Vin. iii, 320). Vasiṭṭhassa apaccaṃ Vāsiṭṭho (Vin. ii, 11). Evam aññe pi yojetabbā.

Suffixes are after roots and bases.
There are suffixes after roots (dhātu) and bases (liṅga).
  1. Karoti ([he] does), gacchati ([he] goes).
  2. Yo koci karoti, taṃ añño “karohi karohi” icc evaṃ bravīti, atha vā karontaṃ payojayati = kāreti (someone does, another says to him “do, do”, or engages him in doing: [he] causes to do).
  3. Saṃgho pabbatam iva attānam ācarati = pabbatāyati (the Saṃgha acts itself like a mountain: acts like a mountain).
  4. Taḷākaṃ samuddam iva attānam ācarati = samuddāyati (the lake acts itself like a sea: acts like a sea).
  5. Saddo cicciṭam iva attānam ācarati = cicciṭāyati (the sound acts itself like “ci-ci”: acts like “ci-ci”).
  6. Vasiṭṭhassa apaccaṃ Vāsiṭṭho (the offspring of Vasiṭṭha).

Thus also others should be formed.

Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
