Rod Bucknell: Digital Index of Noun & Verb Ending of Sanskrit Manual

These digitized tables are based on tables nos. 13, 14 (Pronouns), table no. 29 (Verb Endings), and table no. 30 (Noun Endings), a revised version of the Sanskrit grammar tables in Rod Bucknell’s Sanskrit Manual: A Quick-reference Guide to the Phonology and Grammar of Classical Sanskrit (first edition: Delhi, 1994). With the author’s permission we have expanded the information in such a way that it can be incorporated as tools for various existing digital dictionaries and digital platforms.

For example, if you key-in “-yoḥ”, the below information will appear:

In the above, “6” stands for table 6 of the book, “2”,“33” and “35” are the relevant numbers in table 6. We have preserved the original numbering system as in the printed book so that users can go back to the book should they so wish.

For the endings “yoḥ” of noun endings in -a/-ā（or pronoun: idam/tad etc.）in m. n. f. (ā), please key-in “-ayoḥ” (Gen/Loc du) as per the book as below:

-ayoḥ ............. 6m. [1 deva] Gen du
