I'm most probably reading too much into this,
but I recently paid attention to the fact, that
for "walking on water" (*jale* saMcaran), Bhoja
uses locative singular case, but for the rest of
them "kramas(?)" he uses instrumental singular or plural:
"**jaalena** saMcaramaaNaH" (moving [or whatever verb
that means movement] with[?] a [spider's] web),
***aaditya-rashmibhiH*** viharan ("moving" with[?]
the rays of the Sun: instr. pl.), ****aakaashena****
gacchati ([s/he]goes with[?] akaasha).
Note, that the only difference between 'water'(jala) and
'net' (jaala) is the length of the first vowel.
