Re: [INDOLOGY] चुचोर?

[Jan E.M. Houben]

Dear Madhav,
Could borrowing back from the vernacular perhaps be part of Sanskrit being,
or having been in former centuries, a living language?
As for the perfect formation: one could think of the optionality (or
anityatā) of ṆiC as the real underlying issue, and this was already
discussed before Vopadeva by
Mādhava, who refers to even earlier discussions such as the one occasioned
by the Kāśikāvṛtti citing jagaṇatuḥ jagaṇuḥ (although from root gaṇ in the
curādi gaṇa) as counterexamples under ata ekahal-...: here
Bodhisattvadeśīyācārya-Jinendrabuddhi is more ready to accept the KV's
examples than Vidvadvara-Haradattamiśra (both refer nevertheless to a nyāya
'anityaṇyantāś curādayaḥ').
Could this difference further point to a *diglossic divergence* within the
Sanskrit tradition going back to the divergence between, on one side, the
KV of broader ("popular") orientation (followed by Jinendrabuddhi,
Vopadeva, Melputtur Narayana, the modern Mādhava) and, on the other side,
the Bhāṣya of śiṣṭa-elite orientation (followed by Haradatta, Kaiyaṭa, the
old Mādhava, i.e., Mādhava-Sāyaṇa ...)?
With best wishes,
Jan
