Implosive d- + y- or r- or h- in Indo-Aryan
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 December 2009
Extract
Geiger in his Etymological glossary of the Sinhalese language, 27, under uyana gives as its origin Sk. udyāna-, Pa. uyyāna-, but does not explain the -yy- < -dy- as opposed to Pa. -jj- in ajjā < adyá or upajjati < utpadyatē. Geiger was not alone in his failure to explain the difference in development. V. Henry in Précis de grammaire pâlie, 33, and Geiger himself in Pāli, Literatur und Sprache, 66, both note that it was ud + y- which > -yy- and quote Pa. uyyutta- and uyyōga- < udyukta- and udyāga-, while Mayrhofer in his excellent Handbuch des Pāli does not refer to the problem.

3 This is opposed to -dr- (with exploded d) which becomes Pa. Pk. -dd-, e.g. CDIAL 2108 unnidra- ‘sleepless’ > Pk. uṇṇidda-, H. unīdā, etc.; 9377 bhadrá- ‘good’ > Pa. Pk. bhadda-, OM. bhādi f.adj.; 12565 śūdrá- > Pa. Pk. sudda-, O. suda, with other examples given below, where an attempt is made to define further the dialect area from which forms showing the alternative development of implosive ud + r- as ul- may have been borrowed
