Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)

Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar

Lu (लु).—Elision of an affix or its part in the process of the formation of a word as prescribed by the specific mention of the words लुक्, श्लु (luk, ślu) and लुप् (lup) which have the syllable लु (lu) as common. The specific feature of the elision by the use of these letters is the prohibition of any such operation for the preceding base as is conditioned by the elided affix; cf. प्रत्ययलोपे प्रत्ययलक्षणम् (pratyayalope pratyayalakṣaṇam) | न लुमताङ्गस्य (na lumatāṅgasya) P.I.1.62,63.
