Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Dear list members, I've come across the verbal form bhAvyate . Can someone explain the formation and give its meaning. I see it listed in Whitney's roots under bhU in secondary conjugations but in parenthesis. Is it a passive form of bhU ? A denominative form? Thanks, Harry Harry Spier 371 Brickman Rd.
