@Kutchkutch If we are to be consistent then yes, *jʰīyate should be called Ashokan Prakrit. But then, applying sound laws and everything, the Old Indo-Aryan predecessor of *jhīyate will also be *jʰīyáte, which existed along with *gẓīyáte and the attested variant, kṣīyáte. But the ambiguity persists due to CDIAL reconstructing terms with /ś/, /ṣ/ and certain consonant clusters (/tr/, /dr/, /ts/, /ty/, /dy/ to name a few) which one would not expect to find in a Prakrit so I won't be surprised if this issue rears its head again some time in the future. I think another discussion on this topic is warranted when the time comes.... -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪^{(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴)} 14:19, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

@Bhagadatta: Since this is an issue that keeps rearing its head, we can leave the resolution for that discussion. According to Reconstruction talk:Sanskrit/ध्वजदण्ड, the earliest that such a discussion could happen is after the Prakrit merger. Kutchkutch (talk) 10:00, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

@Kutchkutch: Thanks for finding that discussion. I couldn't recall where it was. It'll be easier to keep track of things to discuss after the merger:

1. Status of CDIAL reconstructions
2. Using Devanagari script entries as altforms for Prakrit or at least showing the Devanagari spelling in Brahmi entries (Template talk:inc-extension). -- 𝓑𝓱𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓭𝓪𝓽𝓽𝓪^{(𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴)} 10:30, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
