Namaste,

I was making Exercise 5 in Emeneau.

Emeneau, M. B., and Barend A. van Nooten. Sanskrit Sandhi and Exercises. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1968. 

(a) Make the past participle from the following roots by adding the suffix -ta after the unstrengthened root.
A root-nasal in penultimate position disappears.

1. añj-  ‘anoint. мазать’   2. idh- ‘burn. зажигать’  3. kṣubh- ‘tremble.’ «колебаться»  4. guh-  ‘hide. прятать’  5. tyaj-  ‘desert. покидать’  6. tras- ‘tremble.’ «трястись»  7. nah-  ‘bind.’ «связывать»  8. bhū- ‘be. становиться’  9, 10. muh- ‘be bewildered’ (two forms) . «упасть в обморок»  11. limp- ‘smear.’ «мазать»  12. sṛj-  ‘let go.’ «отпускать»

First I thought 15. ūhitum  'shove.' «убирать» is the right answer. I checked Bucknell, page 155, but failed. Bucknell contains ūhitum, but no oḍhum. Although he has different forms in footnotes for all kinds of alternative variants. Not included, because limited to Lanman forms? Guess no - limited to Lanman roots, but not verb forms.

There are two sources I know, that quote the form `oḍhum`

PPP: ūḍha B.+, ūhita C.; Inf: ūhitum E.+, oḍhum E.+,-ūhitavaí B.; 2Abs: -ūhya B, +,-úhya B.+;-óham RV.,-ū́ham MS



ūh [1] ŪH- (var. de VAH-) ūhati -te ; u/ūhyate ūhayati ; ūḍha- ūhita- ūhitum oḍhum °u/ūhya — pousser ; usité après prév.



If Whitney said it is E.+, should it be not in literature as well?
