@middle active participle

A middle active participle is a noun that shows the doer and is formed by adding /zAnac after a root, as for instance

yaj यज् + /zAnac + /su → !**yajamAnaH यजमानः

When the inria reader detects one of these, it labels it with the letters "ppr. md.", meaning "present participle, middle" —

yajamAnaH यजमानः

nom. sg. m yajamAna यजमान ppr. (1) md. yaj

That translates to —

yaj यज् + /zAnac m + /su
→ yajamAnaH यजमानः "who is sacrificing for himself"

The (1) shows that the root yaj यज् is a /bhvAdi (verb class one), so it gets /zap by kartarizap. Clicking the yaj यज् shows that this root means "to sacrifice", unfortunately in French.
