@laT tip thing

According to /pANini grammar, the steps involved in making **bhavati भवति or **abhavat अभवत् start by adding a tense (like /laT ot /laG) after a root, and then the tense is replaced by a /tiG, like this —

bhU भू + /laT by vartamAnelaT
→ bhU भू + /tip by lasya
→ **bhava- भवॱ + /tip
→ **bhavati भवति "he / she /it is"

bhU भू + /laG by !!
→ bhU भू + /tip by lasya
→ **abhava- अभवॱ + /tip
→ **abhava- अभवॱ + t त्
→ **abhavat अभवत् "he / she was"

In order save a bit of bandwith, instead of typing "root + tense → root + verbending → " every single time i explain the rules that form a verb, i will just type "root + verbending → ", like this —

bhU भू + /laT /tip → ... → **bhavati भवति "he / she is"

bhU भू + /laG /tip → ... → **abhavat अभवत् "he / she was"
