-यति

Sanskrit Alternative scripts Pronunciation Etymology 1 sa denominative suffix :inh ine-pro:*-yéti<id:intransitive verbs> sa ine-pro *-yéti (denominative suffix). Alternative forms sa -यते Suffix -यति॑,-यति forms denominative verbs sa शिथिल<t:loose> शिथिलयति<t:makes loose> sa चोर<t:thief> -यति॑ ‎चोरयति<t:steals> Usage notes While the Vedic accent is generally on the suffix, it can also shift to previous syllable: for example sa अ॒र्थय॑ति from sa अर्थ॑. When the vowel immediately preceding this suffix is short sa -अ- -á-, this collides with the causative suffix sa -अय॑ति. This would lead many such verbs to be later rebracketed—for example, sa चोर thief + sa -यति → sa चोरयति to thieve was later rebracketed as sa चोर्- + sa -अयति, from which the artificial zero-grade root form sa चुर् to thieve is inferred and then sa चोरयति is said to be a "Class 10" verb from sa चुर्.
