parindAmi
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-.
