In RV. it is frequently followed by u in the combination vā/ u | वा/ उ | [both particles are separated, v, 18, 3] ; it is also preceded by u and various other particles, e.g. by i/d | इ/द् |, a/ha | अ/ह |, uta/ | उत/ |; in the Brāhmaṇas it often follows ha | ह |, ha sma | ह स्म |, eva | एव |; in later language api | अपि | and tu | तु |.
