Source: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammar1) R (र्).—Second letter of the यण् (yaṇ) class (semi-vowels) which has got the properties नादभागित्व, घोषवत्त्व (nādabhāgitva, ghoṣavattva),' संवृतत्व (saṃvṛtatva) and अल्पप्राणता (alpaprāṇatā) i. e. it is a sonant, inaspirate consonant. Regarding its स्थान (sthāna) or place of production, there is a difference of opinion : generally the consonant र् (r) is looked upon as a cerebral or lingual letter (मूर्धन्य (mūrdhanya)); cf ऋटुरषाणां मूर्धा (ṛṭuraṣāṇāṃ mūrdhā)， S.K.also Pan. Siksa; but it is called by some as दन्त्य (dantya) or दन्तमूलीयः (dantamūlīyaḥ) cf रेफस्तु दस्त्ये दन्तमूले वा (rephastu dastye dantamūle vā) RT. 8, by others as दन्तमूलीय (dantamūlīya) and and by still others as वर्स्त्य (varstya) gingival. In the Vajasaneyi-Pratisakhya it is described as दन्तमूलीय (dantamūlīya); cf रो दन्तमूल (ro dantamūla) I. 68, while in the Taittiriya Pratisakhya it is said to be produced by the touch of the middle part of the tip of the tongue just above the root of the teeth ; cf. रेफे जिह्वाग्रमध्येन प्रत्यग्दन्तमूलेभ्यः (rephe jihvāgramadhyena pratyagdantamūlebhyaḥ) T. Pr. II. 41;
2) R.—Substitute र् (r) (रेफ (repha)) for the final letter of the word अहन् (ahan), as also for the final of अम्रस्, ऊधस्, अवस् (amras, ūdhas, avas) and भुवस् (bhuvas) optionally with रु (ru), which (रु (ru)) is dropped before vowels, and changed to ओ (o) before अ (a) and soft consonants, while it is changed into visarga before hard consonants and surds.e.g. अम्नरेव, अम्र एवः ऊधरेव, ऊधएवः (amnareva, amra evaḥ ūdhareva, ūdhaevaḥ) cf. Kas. on P. VIII, 2-70:
3) R.—The consonants र (ra) (technically) called रु (ru) in Panini's grammar) which is substituted for the consonant स् (s) and for the consonant न् (n) of the word अहन् (ahan) when the consonant स् (s) or न् (n) stands at the end of a word. This substitute रु (ru), unlike the substitute र् (r) is liable to be changed into visarga, or the consonant य् (y), or the vowel उ (u) by P. VIII.3.15, 17, VI.1.113, 114.
4) Ṛ (ऋ).—Word-form of the ajbhakti or svarabhakti (a term used in the ancient Prātiśākhya works), where ऋ (ṛ) is looked upon as the consonant र् (r) surrounded by, or followed by the nature of a vowel. ऋ (ṛ) as a vowel is possessed of one mātrā of which in svarabhakti, the consonant र् (r) possesses half and the svarabhakti possesses half; cf रेफात् स्वरोपहिताह्यञ्जनोदयाद् ऋकारवर्णा स्वरभाक्तिरूत्तरा (rephāt svaropahitāhyañjanodayād ṛkāravarṇā svarabhāktirūttarā) R. Pr. VI.13.
5) Ṝ (ॠ).—Long variety of the vowel ऋ.

[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.
