Commentary
[If the elision is of case-ending seen in the analytical sentence, the dual and the plural case-endings should also be seen where there is no elision by P. 6.3.2. but only the singular number is correct. One-ness is understood from the compound 蝉迟辞办腻苍尘耻办迟补岣�. Similarly, when the substitute tavaka is taught (P. 4.3.3.), there also the singular number is understood. But if the secondary constituent in a 惫峁泃迟颈 stands for one-ness in which all differentiation is obliterated (产丑别诲腻辫辞丑补濒补办峁峁嚹乥丑别诲补颈办补迟惫补), then the singular number as distinct from the dual and the plural would have to be abandoned and then 迟腻惫补办墨苍补 would be incorrect.]
