Because of a compound: samāpti (समाप्ति), and a statement.
Where it sits
In Mīmāṃsā (मीमांसा) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 9. Ūha (ऊह): adapting mantras and details when they are transferred. The line is short. ājya-saṃsthā-prati-nidhiḥ (आज्य-संस्था-प्रति-निधिः) from 9.4.56 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
