namassarvebhyaH,
vidhi li~ng viShaye mayA j~nAtam yat "must", "should", "may" sarvepi
dishatum samAna shabdam eva. "must do" "should do", "may do" <--
"kuryAt"
yadi etat satyam eva cet katham sandarbhe avagantum shaknumaH iti
samshayaH sarvadA bhavet. etasmin viShaye kepi niyamAH santi kim?
dhanyavAdAH
AnandaH
Since the meaning of "must do" and "may do" is often strikingly
different, it seems very unnatural to refer to both using the same
vi.li. form. I wonder if there are some other guiding principles for
usage.
thanks,
anand
