^{page 596 note 1} It might be tempting to regard nīpa- as an ‘ irregularity ’ in Sanskrit for *ni-apa, *niyapa, and consider the -e- of nepāla- as a Prakrit development of OIA *-ya-, cf. Pkt. veggala, Skt. vy-agra (vide Turner, N.D. s.v. beglo), as vetāla, Lassen's other example of ‘ die gunirte Form ’ may be interpreted as a Prakritism in Sanskrit from vi- + √at ‘ wander ’, extended by -āla-. But this irregularity is only apparent: when one assumes a pre-Skt. *ni + eHp > *ni-Hp > *nip, the first process being brought about by a shift of stress, the ‘ irregularity ’ disappears.
