Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarAṅit (अङित्).—Not marked with the mute letter ṅ (ङ् (ṅ)) signifying the absence of the prohibition of the guṇa or the vṛddhi substitute. cf अङिति गुणप्रतिषेधः (aṅiti guṇapratiṣedhaḥ) (वक्तव्यः (vaktavyaḥ)) M.Bh. III.3.83 Vārt. 2. In the case of the preposition ā (आ) unmarked with ṅ (ड् (ḍ)), it signifies a sentence or remembrance of something cf. वाक्यस्मरणयोरङित् (vākyasmaraṇayoraṅit) e.g. आ एवं नु मन्यसे, आ एवं किल तत् (ā evaṃ nu manyase, ā evaṃ kila tat) cf. M. Bh. on I.l.14.

Aniṭ (अनिट्).—(l) not admitting the augment इट् (iṭ) to be prefixed to it; the term is strictly to be applied to ārdhadhātuka affixes placed after such roots as have their vowel characterized by a grave accent (अनुदात्तस्वर (anudāttasvara)); the term अनिट् (aniṭ) being explained as अनिडादि (aniḍādi) qualifying the आर्धधातुक (ārdhadhātuka) affix; (2) in a secondary way, it has become customary to call such roots अनिट् (aniṭ) as do not allow the augment इट् (iṭ) to be prefixed to an ārdhadhātuka affix placed after them. Such roots are termed अनुदात्त (anudātta) verily because they are possessed of an anudātta vowel. e. g. कृ, भृ, जि, गम्, हन् (kṛ, bhṛ, ji, gam, han) etc. as against भु, धू, तॄ, श्वि, वृ, वद्, फल्, चल् (bhu, dhū, tṝ, śvi, vṛ, vad, phal, cal), etc. which have their vowel characterized by an acute (उदात्त (udātta)) accent. For a complete list of such roots see the well-known stanzas given in the Siddhāntakaumudī incidentally on आत्मनेपदेष्व-नतः (ātmanepadeṣva-nataḥ) P. VII.1.5. ऊदॄदन्तैर्यौतिरुक्ष्णुशीङ्स्नु- (ūdṝdantairyautirukṣṇuśīṅsnu-)....निहताः स्मृताः ॥ १ ॥ शक्लृपच्मुचिरिचवच्विच् (nihatāḥ smṛtāḥ || 1 || śaklṛpacmuciricavacvic) .........धातवो द्व्यधिकं शतम् ॥ (dhātavo dvyadhikaṃ śatam ||) as also some lists by ancient grammarians given in the Mahābhāṣya on एकाच उपदेशेनुदात्तात् (ekāca upadeśenudāttāt). P. VII. 2.10 or in the Kāśikā on the same rule P. VII.2.10.
