-Rr the letter (or sound) r, used as euphonic consonant to
avoid hiatus. The sandhi -r- originates from the final
r of nouns in °ir & °ur of the Vedic period. In Pali
it is felt as euphonic consonant only, like other sandhi
consonants (y for instance) which in the older language
were part of the noun itself. Thus r even where it is
legitimate in a word may interchange with other
sandhi-consonants in the same word, as we find punam-eva
and puna-d-eva besides the original puna-r-eva
( = Vedic punar eva). At J 1.403 we read " punar
agata," where the C. expl* " puna agata, ra-karo
sandhivasena vutto." Similarly: Sn 81 (vutti-r-es5),
214 (thambho-r.-iva), 625 = Dh 401 (aragge-r-iva), 679
(ati-r-iva), 687 (sarada-r-iva), H34 (hagsa-r-iva)
Vv 64" (Vajir' avudho-r-iva) ; Pv 11.8' (puna-r-eva)
II. II* (id.); PvA 77 (su-r-abhigandha). In the latter
cause the r has no historical origin, as little as in the
phrase dhir atthu (for 'dhig-atthu) Sn 440 ; J 1.59.
RaDSi & Rasmi [Vedic ra§mi. The form ragsi is the
proper Pali form, originating fr. raSmi through metathesis

and later] a rein, a ray. — i. In meaning "rein"
