Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarE (ए).—Diphthong vowel ए (e) made up of अ (a) and इ (i), and hence having कण्ठतालु-स्थान (kaṇṭhatālu-sthāna) as its place of origin. It has no short form according to Pāṇini. In cases where a short vowel as a substitute is prescribed for it in grammar, the vowel इ (i) is looked upon as its short form. Patañjali in his Mahābhāṣya has observed that followers of the Sātyamugri and Rāṇāyanīya branches of the Sāmaveda have short ए (e) (ऍ) in their Sāmaveda recital and has given सुजाते अश्वसूनृते, अध्वर्यो अद्रिभिः सुतम् (sujāte aśvasūnṛte, adhvaryo adribhiḥ sutam) as illustrations; cf. M. Bh. on I.1-48; as also the article on.
