Thus the sphere of pa- may be characterised in following applications: 1. forth, forward, out: papatati fall forward, i. e. down; -neti bring forth (to); -gaṇhāti hold out; -tharati spread forth; -dhāvati run out; -bajati go forth; -sāreti stretch out; etc. - 2.

"onward": paṭṭhāya from . . . onward; pavattati move on; fig. "further, later": paputta a later (secondary) son, i. e. grandson. - 4. "in front of," "before": padvāra, before the door. - 5. Sometimes in trs. (reflexive) use, like pakūjin singing out to (each other, cp Ger. besingen, an-rufen).-The most frequent combination with other (modifying) prefixes is sam-ppa; its closest relatives (in meaning 2 especially) are ā and pari. The double (assimilation) p is restored after short vowels, like appadhaṃsiya (a+pa-).
