Māsati, Māsana, Māsin (fr. mṛṣ, for massati etc.; see masati| touch, touching, etc. in sense of eating or taking in. So is probably to be read for āsati etc. in the foll. passages, where m precedes this ā in all cases. Otherwise we have to refer them to a root ās=as (to eat) and consider the m as partly euphonic.—dumapakkāni-māsita J. II, 446 (C. reads māsita & explanations by asita, dhāta); visa-māsita Milo 302 (T. reads visamāsita) having taken in poison; visa-māsan-ûpatāpa (id.) Vism. 166; tiṇa-māsin eating grass J. VI, 354 (=tiṇakhādaka C.).—A similar case where Sandhi-m- has led to a wrong partition of syllables and has thus been lost through syncope may be P. eḷaka¹, as comp^d with Sk. methi (cp. Prk. meḍhi), pillar, post. (Page 531)

— or —

Masati, (mṛś) to touch: only in cpd. āmasati. The root is explained at Dhtp 305 as “āmasana. ” Another root masu (mṛś?) is at Dhtm 444 given in meaning “macchera. ” Does this refer to Sk. mṛṣā (=P. micchā)? Cp. māsati, māsana etc. (Page 525)
