Tricks to easily find ling of skt words
Answers
Hey mate,
The best method is to find a शब्दमञ्जरी /शब्दमाला - these contains Vibhakti tables for various shabda. There would be about 30–40 types of shabda - these can be taken as template and memorized - this would cover 98% of various shabda in Sanskrit.
The method
The method that is popular is to look various groups of the Sanskrit Sabdas (pratipadikam - meaning nominal stems) as अजन्त (vowel ending) and हलन्त (non-vowel ending). The popular sounds and make a template - meaning, for one type of sabda one sabda can be memorized and becomes the model.
अजन्त (vowel ending)
Masculine gender words = राम (अकारन्त-पुल्लिङ्ग), हरि (इकारान्त-पुल्लिङ्ग), गुरु(उकारान्त-पुल्लिङ्ग), पितृ (ऋकारन्त-पुल्लिङ्ग)
Feminine gender words = सीता (आकारान्त-स्त्रीलिङ्ग), मति (इकारान्त-स्त्रीलिङ्ग), वधू (ऊकारान्त-स्त्रीलिङ्ग), मातृ (ऋकारान्त-स्त्रीलिङ्ग)
Hope it will help you.
