Namaste Ravi,

 

This question is not really connected with this thread.

 

The consonant L appears in the very first mentra of R^ik

veda: agnim ILe purohitam ...., why then is it excluded from

modern sanskrit ?

 

Also I have yet to see any word containing R^I, L^i, and

L^I. Do you know some reference to these sounds.

 

Thanks.

 

Regards

Shrinivas
