Building words from verbal roots: Primary Suffixes (कृत् प्रत्यय) 2

क्विप्, अ, , अन, अ:, ति, मन्, त्र,  तृ, अक  

सेव् (1A) to serve => सेवा (f) service 














कृत्  प्रत्यय  'आ'  



A number of roots for feminine action nouns with the suffix आ। For instance:

सेव् (1A) to serve => सेवा (f) service 
भाष् (1A) to speak => भाषा (f) speech, language
क्रीद् (1U)  to play => क्रीडा game, sport  
चिन्त्(10P) to think  => चिन्ता (f) thought, anxiety


वि+भूष् (1P) adorn  =>विभूषणम् ornament, adorning













कृत्  प्रत्यय  'अन' 

The suffix अन is one of the most important and productive suffixes. Like अ it forms action nouns freely from many roots, but unlike अ which forms mostly masculine nouns, this suffix forms mostly neuter nouns, a good way to recognise which is - the nominative singular will end in म् rather than a visarga. The root vowel often [but not always] takes गुण before it. 

गम् (1P) to go => गमनम् going 
हन् (2P) to kill => हनहम् killing 
दा (3P) to give => दानम्  giving, gift
भुज् (7P) to eat/enjoy => भोजनम् enjoyment, food
वद् (1P) to speak => वदनम् mouth, face 
वि+भूष् (1P) adorn  =>विभूषणम् ornament, adorning
स्था (1P) to stand  => स्थानम् place 
श्रु (5P) to hear  => श्रवणम् hearing
आस् (2A) to sit  => आसनम् seat, posture
वह् (1P) to carry  => वाहनम् carrying, mount, carriage

Can I just say what a comfort to find a person that really understands what they are talking about on
the internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it important.

A lot more people really need to read this and understand this side of the story.

I can't believe you're not more popular given that you surely have the gift.

Thank you so much! Makes the effort sweeter if someone appreciates it, not that I'd stop for the lack of it :-) I tried to look at your website, but it showed up in French rather than German, and my French is very poor! I decided to translate some of the posts into German, but it was hard work and didn't elicit much of a response. Perhaps I don't know how to reach a German audience properly. Do suggest something if you have ideas. Look forward to hearing more from you, and to exploring your website. Thanks, Rohini
