@describe

A verb describes (or linksto) a noun when the /tiG ending of the verb shows the number and person of the noun.

so in this sentence —

kapiH plavate कपिः प्लवते

The verb **plavate प्लवते describes kapiH कपिः, and if we replace kapiH कपिः with something else the verb will have to change —

kapI plavete कपी प्लवेते

kapayaH plavante कपयः प्लवन्ते

aham plave अहम्प्लवे

A noun describes (or linksto) another noun when it copies its /sup.

It will also copy its gender if possible. So here **dRSTa- दृष्टॱ describes azva- अश्वॱ, copying its noun ending /su /au /jas —

azvo dRSTo mayA अश्वो दृष्टो मया I saw a horse

azvau dRSTau mayA अश्वौ दृष्टौ मया I saw two horses

azvA mayA dRSTAH अश्वा मया दृष्टाः I saw many horses
