'Tivitthu' and 'duvitthu' are found in the Samavaya nga (Abhayadeva) also. 'Tivitthu' is found in the VH (p. 276, 277,311) also.
Some instances are observed without the terminations of Nominative. Sing. इक्खाग ५।२, तच्चित्त ८।१६८, चन्दोदयसूरोदय ८२।२५, पीयणपुर
२०.१६६,१८०), Plur. छत्ताइछत्तचामर ४।१८, अरहन्तसिद्ध ४८।१०७, चन्दोदयसूरोदय ८२.११६. ___ In 'garudakesari' 78.42 (Mas. Plu.) the ending vowel is shortened.
This tendency is often seen on occasions of enumeration of the names of some soldiers, illustrious persons or ancestors of some dynasty. See also 5.45; 5.147; 56.29, 36; 57.6; 57.9; 71.36.
A few cases are found without terminations of object:
Acc. Sing. विलीणरयमल ११६, कैवलुब्भव ११३६, संसय २।१०२; तच्चत्थ ३।१३; सम्माण ३६।४२
Acc Plu. नवपल्लव १५।२८; विञ्छिय ३६।१८. 'Nami' and 'nemi' 1.6; 'sukhai' 3.11 and 'riu' 6.82. Masc. Acc. Singular and 'padisattu' 20.204 Acc. Plural are instances of Masc. Noun ending in 'i' and 'u' which have retained their basic forms. These instances are just like Apabhramsa forms (See Hem. 8.4.344).
Instances of nominative forms used for accusative are found in the PCV :Mas. Sing. पिया ४२।२७, वाली (६६) साहसगई (५१।१७,१८), मन्ती
(६६।३२), मेरू १०११४३, साहू १७।४३,
etc. ending in 'a', 'i', '1' and 'u'; Fem. Sing. मरहभूमी ७८।१३ मही, ८।२२, विमूई ७५६४, धम्मबुद्धी ६५.६
___ending in i'; Fem Sing. जा १२।१६ (III Pronoun).
Indeclinable 'Karapattha' is usen for Karapattham' 5.87 and 'niggantha' for 'niggantham' 103.106. It is a tendency of changing short vowel with Anusvāra into long vowel. It is common in Apabhramsa (See Lilavar, Int. p. 81).
It is found in the PCV (by analysing Chs. 15,28,46,52,75 & 78) that Fem. nouns ending in 'a' and 'i', 'i', 'u', 'a' retain their basic forms in Acc. Sing. at the rate of 25% respectively. Examples:
. पडिमा ५।१३६, पया १०१५३, भूमि ६६।१७ लंकानयरी ८।२८५ बहिणी ३६।९५, रणकण्डु ७१७.
