Prakrit 𑀲𑀁𑀥𑀇 (saṃdhaï)

Inherited from Sanskrit 𑀲𑀁𑀤𑀥𑀸𑀢𑀺 (saṃdadhāti). For the phonetic reduction, compare other conjugated forms like 𑀲𑀁𑀥𑀢𑁆𑀢𑁂 (saṃdhatte). Some descendants have undergone 𑀲𑀁𑀥𑁆- (saṃdh-) > *𑀲𑀁𑀡𑁆- (*saṃṇ-), probably under influence of *𑀲𑀁𑀡𑁂𑀇 (*saṃṇei), from Sanskrit 𑀲𑀁𑀦𑀬𑀢𑀺 (sáṃnayati), for which compare Pali 𑀲𑀦𑁆𑀦𑁂𑀢𑀺 (sanneti, “to mix”).
