Dear list members, Whitney in his grammar section 227 says about the doubling of "*ch*". "As a general rule *ch* is not to be allowed by the grammarians to stand in that form after vowels but is to be doubled becoming *cch* (which in the manuscripts is sometimes written *chch*). . .According to Panini *ch* is to be doubled within a word after a long or a short vowel."
But if you look in his "Roots, Verb-forms and Derivatives" at the entry for *iṣ, ich * nowhere does he double "*ch*" not even after a short vowel rather he has* i**chati, ichaka,* * ichā* and* ichu * . Does anyone know why for this root in all his examples he didn't double *ch* after vowels? Thanks, Harry Spier
