Fundamental Root Search in Murthy's samskRutam Etymology

This session explains ways to understand and comprehend the complete meaning of the different fundamental root classes of the samskRutam alphabets, both svaras (vowels) and vyanjanas (consonants), the anunaasikas (the alphabets that are spoken partly by the tongue and mouth, and essentially also through the nose, and the anusvaras and also the visargas.

My etymological paradigm is made very simple for even novices and students of samskRutam to be able to attempt and derive insight into the language of samskRutam. Experts in the language, not yet completely proficient in the linguistics and etymological insights could employ my methods.

Additional benefits of Murthy's samskRutam etymology include formation of new two alphabet words, words of 3 to 5 alphabets, words combinations and also permutations. The permutations and combinations approach at 2 alphabets and higher number of alphabet words, and also such operations at multiple words automatically enhances oratory, compositions in all literary genres, especially poetry, poetic thought processes, poetic writing, poetic oratory and holistic creativity.

I will illustrate my methods step by step for two alphabet words, and further words with three alphabets.

Step 1.
Let us pick five examples of two alphabet words, with Na, na or ma as the suffix alphabet:

1. kaNa
2. kRuNa > karNa
3. kuNa > kONa
4. kah or ka: + Na = kaShNa
5. kRuh or kRu: + Na = kRuShNa

Notice that I have not only taken words with Na as the common suffix, and also chose the root main or seeding alphabets of k of different vowels, to understand the variations.

Step 2.

Na in the suffix common to all the chosen five two-alphabet words implies property of an action.

1. kaNa is a particle, which word expression could be used for the elementary particles in nature. Na as a suffix brings in the “property part” of being a particle.
2. kru the root alphabet implying action or work, as in kar, karO and kara. kar in samsKrutam and Hindi is “do”, an action. “karO” in Hindi and also sanskRutam is calling some for an action. “kara” as in Hindi, samskRutam and many of the Indian languages is an object or person that does the action, as in prabhaakara or divaakara for the Sun, which creates and gives the light. karaNa is the abstract noun form of the action word or the verb “kar”.
3. ku in “kuna” implies acuity, narrowness, inferior, smallness or subordinate. For other examples of words derived from ku or kum are kubja = dwarf, kunTha = lame, kunThita = lameness, kumbha = a vessel with a narrow neck, kuggu in Kannada is bending down or reduce in height. The Na in kuNa is the property of being ku (as in various examples given in the previous statements. kuNa > kONa. KONa is an acute angle in general, as in the three angles of a triangle. A triangle is called “trikOna” meaning “three angles” in samskRutam and many of the Indian languages. Kona is an angle restricted by the straight lines making up and defining the limits of the angle. Again the suffix alphabet Na brings in and defines a property.
4. kah or ka: is commonly the seed root alphabet for the word “kaShTa” < kah or ka: + Ta. This is similar to Na instead or in place of Ta. Suffix alphabet “Ta” also brings in the “property” in the word. Ta or Na as a suffix also imply a status, a status of difficulty as in the words “kaShTa” or “kaShNa”. Another transformation to note in the words kaShNa or kaShTa is the “ah” sound in kah into “Sh” sound upon transformation. “ah” svara transforms to one of the three: s, sh, Sh
5. kRuh is the seed root alphabet implying action and especially judicious action. Combined with the following suffix alphabet Na, which you have already noticed as in the previous examples, the word “kRuShNa”, as in the Mahabharata epic is an icon of “action”, and the “right action”, also called the dharma in Indian tradition. The word kRuShNa is both the property and the person who is the symbol of action.
