antarāgama

antarāgama Tatpur. m. (-maḥ) (In Grammar.) An āgama or

additional letter which is inserted between two letters; e. g.

v when it is inserted between a final a or ā and a fol-

lowing non-labial vowel, after a or ā have become the

representatives of o or au--the native theory being that

these latter vowels do not become av and āv but a and

ā before a vowel in general. E. antar and āgama.

antar—āgama m. (in Gr.) an additional augment between two letters.
