In a small number of verbs vrddhi instead of guna is found: badhate 4 repels ', bhrajate 'shines', dhdvati ‘runs' (Gk. ddu) with g^ma grade), krimati 'strides* (beside middle kramate), dcdmati 4 stfps *. The class is augmented by a number of varied thematic formations with accent on the root or first syllable wdiich did not originally belong here : e,g. (1) a form with infixed nasal, nmdati ' blames * (cf. nid - ‘ contempt, insult ’, Gk. ovciSos-) ; formations of this type are commoner in the sixth class ; (2) forms with a suffix - va : pvati 4 lives tUrvati ' overcomes etc. ; in such cases it can be seen from the apophony that the initial accent is not original ; (3) stems con- taining the IE inchoative suffix -skejsko- (>ccha~) with second- ary radical accent : gdcchati ' goes ' (cf. Gk. /Lumc, impv.) yacchati ' holds ' ; (4) reduplicated thematic formations : tisthati 4 stands' (sthd-), cf. Lat sistit , pibaii ‘ drinks' (pd-) f Ir. ibid, jigkrati 4 smells * (ghrd-) ; in sldati 4 sits Lat. sldo (IE sizd - from sed-) the normal phonetic development would have given d in Sanskrit, but d appears here through the influence of other parts of the conjugation. Suffi-xally Accented Class (Sixth or tad- class) This and the following two classes are conjugated in exactly the same way as the preceding. The sixth class is fairly com- mon, something like 150 roots being conjugated in this way. Typical examples : rujdti ' breaks visdti * enters tuddti
