   • c. 500 AD, Kaccāyana, Pālivyākaraṇaṃ [Pali Grammar]‎^[2] (overall work in Pali), page 294; republished as Satish Chandra Acharyya Vidyabhusana, editor, Kaccayana's Pali Grammar (edited in Devanagari character and translated into English), Calcutta, Bengal: Mahabodhi Society, 1901:

     तिस्स त्थित्तं॥१३॥
     अस इच्चेताय धातुया तिस्स विभत्तिस्स त्थित्तं होति धात्वन्तस्स लोपो च।अत्थि।

     13. Tissa tthittaṃ.
     Asa iccetāya dhātuyā tissa vibhattissa tthittaṃ hoti dhātvantassa lopo ca. Atthi.

     'Tthi' from 'ti'.
     'As': from this root the ending 'ti' becomes 'tthi' and the end of the root is dropped. Yields atthi.
