64. 216. Tassā vā (211)

[Tassā + vā = 2 words]

Tassā itthiyaṃ vattamānāya ākārassa ikāro hoti vā saṃ-sāsu ekavacanesu vibhattādesesu.

Tissaṃ, tissā; tassaṃ, tassā.

Optionally, [‘ā’] of “tā”.

Optionally, when ‘saṃ’ and ‘sā’, which are substitutions of the singular inflections [‘smiṃ’ and ‘sa’], follow, the [end vowel] ‘ā’ of “tā”, in the feminine [gender], is substituted by ‘i’.

Examples

Tissaṃ = tā + smiṃ (‘smiṃ’ is substituted by ‘saṃ’ (§179); ‘ā’ of “tā” is substituted by ‘i’ (§64) and ‘s’ is inserted (§62)).
Tissā = tā + sa (‘sa’ is substituted by ‘sā’ (§179); ‘ā’ of “tā” is substituted by ‘i’ (§64) and ‘s’ is inserted (§62)).

Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
