Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Leṭ (लेट्).—A general term for the affixes of the Vedic subjunctive, the usual personal-endings ति, तस् (ti, tas) etc. being substituted for लेट् (leṭ) as in the case of other tenses and moods. The augments अट् (aṭ) and आट् (āṭ) are sometimes prefixed to the लेट् (leṭ) affix and the sign (विकरण (vikaraṇa)) स् (s) (सिप् (sip)) is sometimes added to the roots. The forms of लेट् (leṭ) are to be arrived at as they are found actually used in Vedic language, even by placing personal-endings of a person or number different from what is actually required.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
