Sorry about the long gap in the lessons as I got a bit busy. I will try to keep the lessons going at a steady pace from now on. In the last lesson, we showed how sanskrit alphabet has a nice logical ordering of its letters based on 'aasya prayatnaM' i.e., utterance. In this lesson, I will introduce a couple more sanskrit grammatical terms and complete the first chapter 'saMj~naa prakaraNam' of LSK. aN-udit-savarNasya cha-apratyayaH ????????????????????????? ityukte, apratyayaH aN, udit cha tasya savarNasya saMj~naa syaat ????????? ??, udit ? ???? ???????? ?????? ?????? The letter 'a', if used without a pratyaya i.e., suffix, is an abbreviation for all the savarNa letters of 'a'. Similarly with 'i', 'u' Similarly with uditaH, which means ku, chu, Tu, tu and pu For instance, 'a' stands for the 18 savarNas of 'a' i.e., {hrasva, dIrgha, pluta} x {udAtta, anudAtta, svarita} x {anunAsika, ananunAsika} = 18 tulya-aasya prayatna forms of 'a'. Similarly, 'i' ? and 'u' ? have 18 forms. R^i (?) and L^i has 30 forms. (What are those? I don't know). ??? ??????????? ech (??) i.e., e, ai, o, au have 12 forms because they don't have the hrasva form: {dIrgha, pluta) x {udAtta, anudAtta, svarita} x {anunAsika, ananunAsika} = 12. paraH saMnikarShaH saMhitaa varNaanaaM atishayitaH sannidhiH samhitaa-saMj~naH syaat | The term 'samhitaa' denotes the extreme proximity of two akSharas (without anything else in between). For example, ka = k + 'a' halo.anantaraaH saMyogaH ach-bhiH avyavahitaa halaH saMyoga-saMj~naaH syuH | The appearance of two hal varNas (i.e., consonants) unintervened by an 'ach' i.e., vowel is called saMyoga. Such a consonant pair is called saMyuktaakSharaH rakta = r + a + k + t + a Here, 'ra' is a samhitaakShara, 'kt' is samyuktaakShara Finally, sup-ti~NantaM padam subantaM ti~NantaM cha pada-saMj~naM syaat | Sanskrit has a precise definition for what is a valid 'word' or padam. a word that either ends in 'sup' pratyayaaH (suffixes) or 'ti~N' pratyayaaH is called a padam and can stand by itself in a sentence. To a first level of approximation we can say that verbs end in 'ti~N' e.g., bhavati, nayati etc. non-verbs end in 'sup' e.g., raamaH, kR^IShNena etc. raam is not a valid 'padam' because it does not have the 'sup' suffix. What in the world are 'sup' and 'ti~N'? That's a major topic that we'll come to later, but I'll satisfy your curiosity a little by saying sup means, 'su au jas am au shas Taa bhyaaM bhis ~ne bhyaam bhyas ....." raama + su = raamaH (based on some sandhi rule we'll get to later). raama + jas = raamaaH raama + am = raamam (dvitiiyaa vibhakti form of raama SabdaH). A humorous reference to sup pratyayaaH occurs in an old telugu movie called Maayaabazaar. ghaTotkacha's court preceptor (actor RamaNaa Reddi) tries to make all the raakShasa disciples recite the sup pratyayaaH by asking them to repeat after him: 'su au jas .... Taa bhyaaM bhis ~ne bhyaaM bhyas' But the raakShasa folk, whose tongues are too thick and blunt, can't utter the samyuktaakSharas properly. They say 'Taa bayaam bis e bayaam bayas' The preceptor gets vexed and utters 'Siva Sivaa', which the disciples also repeat religiously after him :-) >From the next lesson, we get into the various sandhi rules of Sanskrit grammar. - Sai.
