As far as I know this principle is correct with respect to agent
pronominals in verbs like ...aN=...dha 'to discard' and ...gaN=...dha 'to
want'.  That is, the inclusive is aNgaNdha, though as Bob has observed in
the past, it might be difficult to know if it were aNgaN=aNdha, especially
if we're a bit slack about recognizing long vowels.

I'll look into this further.
