Śap (शप्).—A vikarana affix (conjugational sign) applied to roots of the first conjugation and in general to all secondary roots i. e. roots formed from nouns and from other roots before personal-endings which are Sarvadhatuka and which possess the sense of agent, provided there is no other vikarana affix prescribed; e. g. भवति, एधते, कारयति, हारयति, बुभूपति, पुत्रीयति, पुत्रकाम्यति, कामयते, गेीपायति, कण्डूयति, पटयति, दिनन्ति (bhavati, edhate, kārayati, hārayati, bubhūpati, putrīyati, putrakāmyati, kāmayate, geीpāyati, kaṇḍūyati, paṭayati, dinanti) (यामिन्यः (yāminyaḥ)) etc. cf. कर्तरि शप् (kartari śap), P. III.1 .68. This affix शप् (śap) is dropped after roots of the second conjugation (अदादि (adādi)) and those of the third conjugation (जुहोत्यादि (juhotyādi)) and in Vedic Literature wherever observed; cf. P.II.4.72, 73, 75, 76.
