(-tiḥ) Opening. [In the present edition of the Medinī it occurs as a meaning of ācchādana, viz. ‘ācchādanaṃ saṃpidhāne vastrepavṛtimātrake’; but a better reading instead of the latter word is clearly prāvṛtimātrake, as ācchādana does not mean ‘covering’ and ‘opening’ at the same time; the Śabdamuktāmahārṇava, which quotes this reading, explains therefore ācchādanam na (i. e. napuṃsakaṃ) tirodhāne aṃśuke prāvaraṇasāmānye ca.] E. vṛ with apa, kṛt aff. ktin.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.
