INDEX OF SANSKRIT GRAMMATICAL TERMS

Sounds

svaraḥ (‘sound, voice’) vowel – vyañjanaḥ (‘manifestation’) consonant – akṣaram ‘syllable, character’ is the equivalent to our ‘letter’ (the basic unit representing a complete syllable rather than just one sound, as it would in Latin writing); a syllable can be laghu- ‘light’ or guru- ‘heavy’ – vowels can appear in zero grade (for which there is no native Indian name), guṇa (full grade) or vṛddhi (lengthened/extended grade) – saṃdhiḥ (putting (√dhā) together sam-).
