Why are the roots of verbs in those particular conjugations only and not in
any other? Fot example- the root Gama Gaccha belongs to the 1st conjugation.
Why is it in the 1st conjugation and not in the 2nd conjugation? I know
there are rules and characteristics of every conjugation, but yet I need a
logical and mathematical explanation to it. Because sanskrit is a logical
language and everything has logic in sanskrit grammar.
Hoping for an answer very soon

In the 5th sarga of kumArasambhava, Lord ziva in the guise of a brahmacAri
asks pArvati a few questions about how she carries on her penance.
api kriyArtham sulabham samitkuzam, jalAni api snAnavidhikshamam te .
api svazaktyA tapasi pravartase, zarIram Adyam khalu dharmasAdhanam ..33..
The next two zlokas also start with api.
Aarathi.
> api can be used to derive interogation.

Thanks for your prompt responses. This is what I have learned, but I have seen
some people insert a "kim" at the end of a given sentence to mark it
as a question.
Is this acceptable?
A related question: is syntax formalized anywhere in Panini, or does
he not deal
with the topic?
