C is the symbol for any consonant and # for the end of the word, so the law
should be read
"the cluster sonantic n + dental in final word position changes to sonantic r
[+ dental which disappears normally] in final word position". Consonantic n +
dental in final word position remains, as you can see by considering the pair
a-bhar-an from *e-bher-ont vs. a-bi-bhar-ur from *e-bhi-bher-nt and so on.
