Apabhramśa Grammar as construed from the Bhavisayattakahā.
I Phonology
(A) VOWELS 81 Vowels:-The Apbh. like the literay Prakrits possesses all the Sanskrit vowels, with the exception of , लू, ऐ and औ. Unlike Sanskrit, and like the Prakrits its possesses a short ए and ओ. Hemacandra's20 तृणु, सुकदु and a few more Apbh. words in are unknown to our work.
52 + itself is variously represented by अ, इ, उ, ए, अर, रि. -भ अमय (अमृत), कसण (कृष्ण), घर (गृह), मईद (मृगेंद्र), मरण (मृगेण), वियड्ड (विकृष्ट), सरइ
(स्म) संभल (संस्मृ) . इ भलंकिय (अलंकृत), अमिय (अमृत), गिण्ह (गृह), घिउ, (घृत) दिछ (दृष्ट), पहिट
(प्रहृष्ट),समिह (समृह), हियय (हृदय) उ णिव्वुइ (निवृत्ति), पाउस ( प्रावृष्), पुहइ (पृथ्वी), पुठ्ठी (पृष्ठम्) ए गेहु (गृह) अर् करिवि (कृ), सरेवि (स्मृ or मृ), रिअम्हारिस (अस्मादृश), रिसि (ऋषि) $ 3 ऐ & औ are either weakened to t & ओ or resolved into अइ, अउ, इ, उ. ऐ-ए देवय (दैवत ), नेमित्तिय (नैमित्तिक), वेहओ (वैभव), वेयड (वैतादय) सेरउ, (स्वैरम् )
अइ अइरावय (ऐरावत) दहउ (देव), वहरि (वैरिन् ), वइसाह (वैशाख), बहराई (वैराग्येण), वइसवण
(वैश्रवण) इ सिन्नं (सैन्यं) औ-ओ भोसह (औषध), कलहोय (कलधौत), कोहुल (कौतूहल), कोसिय (कौशिक), गोड (गोड)

उ (rarely) सुक्ख (सौख्य) 84 With the exception of ऋ,ऐ, ओ, all other vowels generally remain unchanged. But sometimes there is shortening or weakening, as for instance before conjuncts. The quantity of the syallable is however retained. This is so in the Prākrits too.

(a) The opposite tendency of lengthening the vowel, sometimes even at the cost of quantity, is also seen e.g. नेउर (नूपर), अणोबम (अनुपम), पोत्थय (पुस्तक), पओहण (प्रवहण), पायडो (प्रकट), वोहित्य (वहित्र ), सोवासिणि (सुवासिनी) § 5. The art of feminines is invariably shortened, though in some cases the shortening might be due to metre
