Pali
Etymology
Inherited from Sanskrit शक्नोति (śaknoti), with sakkoti and sakkuṇāti being mostly alternative phonetic developments (assimilation v. anaptyxis), with the gemination of /k/ extended to the anaptyctic form, making the gemination universal in verb forms where it is not assimilated away. The anaptyctic form without change of suffix lingers on as the rare sakkuṇoti. The form sakkati formally corresponds to the passive Sanskrit शक्यते (śakyate), but its use as active Sanskrit शक्यति (śakyati) is also seen in Epic Sanskrit, so the development may be parallel rather than common inheritance.
