परिन्दामि (parindAmi)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
parindāmi (also parī°, anu-par°, qq.v.
peculiar to BHS
formation unexplained, see below), I present, hand over: °āmi SP 〔410.10〕
〔484.5〕
LV 〔443.9〕 (Lefm. paridāmy, read with v.l. parind°)
ppp. parindita, see Parinditārtha, and Pargiter ap. Hoernle MR 〔p. 179〕, where parindita is read for parī° Vaj 〔20.4, 10〕. Could nasalized vowel -in- (-iṃ) be a substitute by the ‘law of Morae’ for parī-dāmi (cf. ppp. parītta), and the forms with parīnd° be blends? Not satisfactory. But parī- occurs for pari-. Dr. Paul Tedesco would derive by the Morengesetz from *pariddāmi for paridadāmi with loss of -a-
as a parallel he cites Skt. ujjhāmi etc., which he also derives directly from uj-jahāmi with loss of -a-. That ujjh- is somehow derived from ud plus root hā, few will doubt
but I am not sure that this is the precise way (for a different one see Uhlenbeck s.v.)
and I should like other examples of such loss of -a-.
