Possibility #4

When is followed by e, it can become ññ

When is followed by h, it can become ñ

e.g. ta + eva > taññeva

aya + hi > ayañhi

In Kaccāyana this is called (32) ehe ñaṃ.

       
ta eva taññeva just that
aha eva ahaññeva just I
paccatta eva paccattaññeva just personally
aya hi ayañhi this indeed
eva hi evañhi thus indeed
ki hi kiñhi what indeed?

Counter-examples:

evaṃ etaṃ > eva etaṃ

evaṃ hoti > eva hoti
