sixth in a rule can mean "replace".mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M- C+ 45

This is a talkaround --

' the sixth ending in a rule means "replace this" '

Examples --

The first word ikas of rule iko yaN aci, is made from ik + Gas. So in ordinary Sanskrit, it would mean "of ik". But in a rule, it may mean "replace ik". So this rule translates as "replace ik with yaN".

In rule TeH, the word Tes is made from Ti + Gas, and means "replace the tail".

The es word in rule er uH is i + Gas and means "replace i with"

The vyos in lopo vyor vali has os, and means "replace v y with"

The TAGasiGasAm in TA-Gasi-GasAm inAtsyAH has Am, and means "replace TA Gasi Gas with"

This rule does not work always --

In rule Tita, the word Titas (made from Tit + Gas), means "of a Tit", not "replace Tit".

but in practice, most the sixth endings in rules do mean "replace".

(sthAnentara) (@mos)

sthAne 'ntaratamaH ONPANINI 11050
Replace with the most-alike.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M- C+ 46

talkaround. When a rule says: "replace a letter with a list of letters", we must choose the replacement that resembles the original the most (in sound, tongue position, etc).

Example 1.

In sA + uvAca, rule AdguNaH says "delete A, and replace u with one of a e o". This means that we have to replace u with o, because o is the most u-like of the three in position.

More in detail, AdguNaH replaces --

i and I with e (because i I are palatal, like e)

sA + icchati AdguNaH secchati "she wants"

u uu with o (because u U are labial, like o)

sA + uvAca AdguNaH sovAca "she said"

R RR L with a (because none of the above applies and only a is left)

sA + Rcchati AdguNaH sacchati uraNra sarcchati "she goes"

Example 2.

Some rule says "replace S d D s with t T when this and that happens". Here, S will become T, not t, because S and T have the same position, and S and t don't.

Example 3.

Rule kuhozcu says that we have to replace h with the most alike of c ch j jh J. None of those has the same position as h, yet we must take jh, because jh is the most h-like of the five by sound. That's obvious to anyone that can say these six letters with a good accent.

If it ain't obvious to you, go get your accent fixed. You really shouldn't be studying grammar if you can't even chant the basics correctly.

This " most-alike" is weaker than the " respectively". Therefore we do not use most-alike to figure out the meaning of ikoyaNaci.

ur aN ra-paraH ONPANINI 11051
Whenever aN'' replaces R RR, add r afterwards.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 47

This is a talkaround rule. Explained in more detail, it teaches --

" Rules that say ' replace R RR with A I U a i u ' actually replace them with Ar Ir Ur ar ir ur. "

Example 1. Suppose we join mahA + RSis. Rule AdguNaH says literally "trash the A and replace R with a", but that actually means "trash the A and replace R with ar". So we get --

mahA + RSis AdguNaH maharSis "great seer"

Example 2. When joining smR + zap, rule hardsoft teaches "replace R and RR with a", but that means "replace R and RR with ar". Therefore --

smR + laT tipsmR + zap + ti hardsoft smarati "remembers"

Example 3. Rule Rta::ut says "replace R with u", but that means "replace R with ur" (see Rta::ut for examples).

Replace only the last letter.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 48

talkaround rule --

"when a rule tells us to replace something, it means replace the last letter of that something"

Example. The vadhU in vadhU + calling, is a nadI. Therefore rule ambArtha says here "replace vadhU with short". But that means "replace the last letter of vadhU with short" --

vadhU- + @calling su ambArtha vadhu- + s eGhra vadhu "hi young lady"

Because of exception anekAlzit, this rule works only when the replacement has one letter. So if you want, you may remember this rule as --

"one-letter replacements replace only one letter"

(Exception in advance to anekAlzit.)

The Git mentioned here are a few short replacements such as anaG AnaG avaG iyaG uvaG. The G labels in them mean that they replace only one letter. The a before that G is just padding.

Example. Rule Rduzana says: "replace R-enders and uzanas with an(aG) before su". Because of Gicca , this means that we replace only the last letter of the R-ender or of uzanas- and not the whole R-ender or the whole uzanas-. See --

pitR- + supit + an + supitanspitA "father" ( by the same three rules that make rAjA )

uzanas- + suuzana + an + su atoguNe uzanansuzanA "pn (of a sage)" ( by the same three rules that make rAjA )

AdeH parasya ONPANINI 11054
Replace the start of what comes afterwards.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 50

Exception to alontyasya.

Rule alontyasya says "replace only the last letter". For instance, when rule hardsoft teaches "replace nI with e before zap", only the I is replaced, and we get ne.

Yet, because of this exception, when a rule says "replace this with that AFTER that", then only the FIRST letter is replaced.

So we always replace the letter closest to the cause of the change.

Example. Rule mAdu says: "replace matup with v after saras-". Here only the FIRST letter of matup is replaced --

saras + matup mAdu saras + vatupsarasvat- "that has lakes"

But what has two or more letters, or is zit, replaces the whole.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 51

Rules alontyasya and AdeHparasya say that replacements replace only one letter of the original (the first or the last).

However, a replacement that has more that one letter will replace all of the original. Examples --

So when rule atobhisa says "replace bhis with ais", all of the bhis is replaced, not just the bh.

And when rule TAGasi replaces Gas with sya, all of Gas is replaced, not just the a.

Also, a zit replacement (such as zi, ez, zI) will replace all of the original. Examples --

So when rule jazzasozziH says "replace jas with zi", all of the jas is replaced, not just the a.

And when liTastajhayorezirec replaces ta with ez, all of ta is replaced, not just the t.

(sthAnivadA) (@inh)

sthAnivad Adezo 'n-al-vidhau ONPANINI 11056
Replacement is like original, except for letter-rules.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M- C+ 52

talkaround. It means that a replacement inherits the labels and terms of its original.

Examples --

(1) mip is a tiG and has label p. So, replacements of mip are also tiG, and also have label p. This includes am''' and Ani'''. As am''' is pit, rule hard apit is Git did not stop the puganta in adveSam "I hated".

(2) ktvA is a kRt affix and has label k. So lyap, that always replaces ktvA, is a kRt and has k label. This k prevented puganta in pravizya "after entering".

(3) liT is a tense. When we replace liT with tip, then tip is a tense and a liT. And when we replace that tip with Nal, then Nal is a tense, a liT, a pit, a Nit and a lit. Because Nal is a liT, rule liTca makes Nal soft. That's why Nal does not make kartarizap work.

BTW, inheritance is not the same thing as trickle.

(acaHpara) (!acaHp)

acaH parasmin pUrva-vidhau ONPANINI 11057
Replacement of vowel (becomes vowel-like) when what is after it tries to change what is before it.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 53

( Please don't waste much time thinking about this rule. It just plugs a few small holes that some other rules left. )

This rule makes deleted vowels reappear in certain uncommon circumstances.

Example. In dA + us, the A must disappear BEFORE liTidhA works --

dA + liT jhidA + us usyapadAntAt d + lopa + us ( so far )

At this point, rule liTidhA should reduplicate the root. But the root has now changed into d + lopa, so what vowel should it reduplicate with?

Here rule acaHparasmin saves the day. The liT after the lopa is trying to make a stammer before the lopa, and therefore, this lopa, which is an invisible ghostly A (see adarzanaMlopaH), becomes just A-like enough to fool ekAcodve, which will make a dA stammer --

d + lopa + us → * d + ( A-like lopa ) + us liTidhA dA + d + us hrasvaH dadus "they gave"

I explained avadhIt, which is another example of acaHparasmin , under luGica.

The kAzikA shows many other uses for this rule. Read it whenever you feel like getting a headache.

(adarzana) (/lop)

a-darzanaM lopaH ONPANINI 11060
lopa means invisibility.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 54

talkaround rule. It can be rephrased as --

" When any rule says ' replace this with lopa ', understand ' make this invisible '. "

Or more simply, but not as accurately --

" 'Replace this with lopa' means 'delete this' "

Example.

Rule atolopaH teaches that when yuyutsa is before u', we must "replace a with lopa".

Therefore, when yuyutsa is before u', we must delete the a --

yuyutsa + u'yuyutsu-

KAZIKA adarzanam, azravaNam, anuccAranam, anupalabdhiH, abhAvo, varNavinAzaH ityanarthAntaram. etaiH zabdairyo 'rtho 'bhidhIyate, tasya lopaH iti iyaM saMjJA bhavati. arthasyaiyaM saMjJA, na zabdasya. prasaktasya adarzanaM lopasaMjJaM bhavati. godhAyA Dhrak 41129 gaudheraH. paceran. jIve radAnuk jIradAnuH. strivermaninAsremANam. yakAravakArayoradarzanam iha udAharaNam. aparasya anubandhAdeH prasaktasya. lopapradezAH lopo vyor vali ityevam AdayaH.

Why does this rule say "invisibility", when it could have said "disappearance" or "destruction"?

The reason is that in some uncommon situations, the deleted thing does not completely disappear, but instead turns into a sort of " ghost thing" that retains some of the properties of the deleted thing.

Example.

Rule gamahana says that, when gam is before us, the a of gam must be "replaced with lopa". However, in this case, the lopa will not be a complete and utter nothing, but instead it will be an "invisible a", a sort of ghost that has an "a spirit" --

gam + liT jhigam + usg + ( ghost a ) + m + us

This ghost a is invisible to all rules, EXCEPT to rule liTidhA, that can see it and will reduplicate gm as if it were still gam --

gam + liT jhigam + usg + (ghost a ) + m + us liTidhA ga + g + (ghost a) + m + usgagmus kuhozcuH jagmus "they went"

Fortunately this trick of "reading from a ghost" is seldom used. When it is, I'll warn you.

(pratyayasya) (/luk)

pratyayasya luk;zlu;lupaH ONPANINI 11061
luk zlu lup replace a whole affix (and are invisible).mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 55

talkaround. When a rule says "replace with luk", it replaces a whole affix with something invisible (with a "ghost" that cannot be pronounced).

Example 1.

Rule svamorna teaches that when the affix su is after madhu-, we have to "replace su with luk". This means, among other things, that we replace su with a "ghost" affix luk that has no letters --

madhu- + su svamorna madhu + ( ghost affix ) → madhu "honey"

This "ghostly affix" luk does not exists for pronunciation purposes, so we say --

madhuramM madhu "honey is sweet"

however, this luk does exist for the purposes of rule suptiG, and it is a sup affix, therefore this madhu is a word.

Example 2.

Rule supodhA says that in certain situations, we have to replace the sup affix of the word devAnAm "of gods" with luk.

Now, because devAnAm was made this way --

deva + Amdeva + nAm nAmi devA + nAm

we know that rule supodhA means that we must delete the nAm, and then rule !!nalima must reverse the effect of rule nAmi --

devAnAGM gurus supodhA devA + gurus naluma devagurus

For more examples, see other rules thatreplace with luk, such as tyadAdInAmaH, atoheH.

(pratyayalo) (!pratyayal)

pratyaya-lope pratyaya-lakSaNam ONPANINI 11062
When an affix is replaced with nothing, its affix-specific effects stay.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 56

Example.

When we add the calling after azva-, azva turns into azvas, and, as a side effect, this azvas turns into a word (because rule suptiG says so).

After that, rule eGhra will trigger and replace the s with lopa, which is a kind of nothing. Like this get --

azva- + @callingazvas eGhra azva

Now, this rule says that, when eGhra replaces the su of azvas with nothing, the effect of su of turning azvas into a word is not reversed. So, this azva is still a word, even though the s is no longer there.

Why do we say affix-specific? Because only the changes that are caused by the affix being that affix stay. For instance, when we join rai- + jas, the rai changes into rAy. But the change is caused by ecoya and it happens before all vowels, not just before jas. So when rAyas is before matup, rule supodhA deletes the jas, and the affix-specific change of making rAyas into a word stays, but the ecoya does not stay, and is reversed, so rAyas becomes rai, which is a word. Therefore rAyas + matup makes raimat-.

But the stem-changes caused by lu affixes do not stay.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 57

Exception to pratyayalo. When adding an affix changes its stem, and the affix is replaced with luk, zlu or lup, those changes are rolled back. Only the other changes stay.

Example.

When we add Gas after rAjan-, we first get rAjanas, and then the rAjan part turns into rAjJ because of alloponaH and STunA. This rAjJas is also a word, because rule suptiG says so.

Now, when we compound rAjJas and puruSas, rule supodhA replaces the Gas with luk. This deletes the as of rajJas, and rolls back rAjJ to rAjan.

But rule suptiG made rAjJas into a word, and as this was not a change of the stem, it cannot be rolled back. So this rAjan is now a word.

As now rAjan is a word, as well as a nounbase, rule nalopaHprA will chop off the n.

fifth in a rule may mean "after it".mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 61

The fifth endings, GasibhyAmbhyas, in grammar rules, will almost always mean "after". Even though in the ordinary language the fifth can mean "from" or "because", but not "after". Ordinary Sanskrit for "after this" is ataH param or ata Urdhvam, not just ataH like in the rules.

Examples --

Rule dIrghAt literally says "from long", which would be utter nonsense were it not for this rule, that teaches us that it means dIrghAt param "after long".

Rule hal;Gy;A mentions "from hal, GI, Ap", meaning "after hal GI Ap".

Rule id;udbhyAm translates to "from i u", means "after i u".

In a few rules, a fifth is used in its ordinary meanings of "from, because, up to" etc. For instance, rule AkaDArA has an A kaDArAt that means "up to kaDAra" -- it does not mean "after A and kaDAra".

Words in rules stand for themselves, unless they are terms.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ C+ 62

talkaround rule. A word in a rule stands for itself, not for other words.

Example. Rule spRzonudakekvin says "spRz gets kvin after udaka". This udaka means "the word udaka", and does not mean "any word that means water".

Counterexample. Rule vRddhireci says "with vRddhi before ec". Here vRddhi does not mean "the word vRddhi". It means "A ai au", because vRddhi is a term (there is some rule somewhere that explains " vRddhi means "A ai au").

This rule has exceptions. For instance, there is some rule in which vRkSa "tree" does not mean just 'the word vRkSa', but "all words that mean trees, such as pine, oak etc". We'll warn of these exceptions when we come to them.

(aNuditsa) (!aNu)

aN;udit savarNasya cApratyayaH ONPANINI 11069
aN'' and udit include similars.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 63

This rule says two things --

(1) aN'' includes similars. That is, when a rule mentions "a", it means "a or A". And also the nasalized versions of these (a~ and A~). Examples --

The sUtra a i uN in the zivasUtra only mentions a i and u (the N is a label), but it actually means a A i I u U.

The "At" in rule AdguNaH says "merge a with", but actually means "merge a or A with".

(2) the word udit in this rule means just ku cu Tu tu pu. Each of these five is made of a consonant plus an u label, and means that consonant plus those consonants that are similar to it. For instance, ku means k kh g gh G (see varga for the other four). Example --

When rule coHkuH teaches "replace cu with ku", this means that we have to replace c ch j jh J with k kh g gh G, respectively.

This rule does not apply to affixes. The rules that add the affixes u and u' add only u, never U. So we say yuyutsu- only, not yuyutsU-. Also, a'' is never A.

Grab from the start to the one that has the end as label after it.mmmmmmmmm glosses glosses ^ M+ C+ 65

This explains how to use the zivasUtra.

Example.

Rule kharava mentions " khar letters".

To know which letters are khar letters, you split khar into kha (the start) plus r (the end).

Then you chant aloud from the zivasUtra, starting at kha, and stopping at the one that has label r after it, which is sar.

So you sing --

kha pha cha Tha tha ca Ta tav

ka pay

za Sa sar

Now remove the label letters -- those at the end of sUtras, namely v, y, r, and also the thirteen a.

What is left are the thirteen khar letters, namely, --

kh ph ch Th th c T t,

k p,

z S s.

This "AB means from A to B both included" principle also applies in a few cases to the tiptas list --

tiG means start at tip stop at "mahiG" -- all eighteen affixes fronm tip to mahi.

taG means start at ta stop at "mahiG" -- from ta to mahi.

and also to the svaujas list --

suT means start at su stop at "auT" -- su au jas am au

sup means start at su stop at sup'. -- all twenty-one affixes from su to sup'.

talkaround. Rephrasing it roughly --

"whatever" in a rule might mean "what ends in whatever".

As for instance --

"after n" in a rule might mean "after what ends in n"

Example 1 --

Rule supaAt uses teh word supas, meaning "after a sup"

but that means "after what ends in a sup"

which happens to be roughly the same thing as "after a noun"

Example 2 --

Rule kartarica says

" sixth won't compound with an aka that means a doer".

But that means

"a sixth-ender won't compound with an aka-ender that means a doer".

Example 3 --

Rule ugidacA teaches, among other things --

" ugit gets num before zi "

" nounbases that end in an ugit get num before zi "
