vapati, thus opiya would be *!vupiya, a risky conclusion, which besides being discrepant in meaning
(!vapati = to distribute) necessitates der. of opiya fr. opati (*!vapati) instead of vice vers!. There is no other
instance of *!va being contracted to o. Trenckner then puts opiya = (piya in tad(piya ("conform with this",
see ta˚ Ia), which is however a direct derivation from upa = upaka, upiya, of which a superl. formation is
upam! ("likeness"). Trenckner's expln. of
