In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Ṭ (ट्).—The first consonant of the lingual class (टवर्ग (ṭavarga)) possessed of the properties श्वासानुप्रदान, अघोष, विवृतकण्ठत्व (śvāsānupradāna, aghoṣa, vivṛtakaṇṭhatva) and अल्पप्राणत्व (alpaprāṇatva). When prefixed or affixed to an affix as an indicatory letter, it signifies the addition of the fem. affix ङीप् (ṅīp) (ई); cf. P. IV. 1.15, When added to the conjugational affixes (लकार (lakāra)) it shows that in the Atmanepada the vowel of the last syllable is changed to ए. cf. P. III. 4.79. When added to an augment (आगम (āgama)), it shows that the augment marked with it is to be prefixed and not to be affixed; e. g. नुट्, तुट् (nuṭ, tuṭ) etc.; cf P. I. 1.46.

T (त्).—The first consonant of the dental class of consonants which has got the properties श्वासानुप्रदान, अघोष, विवृतकण्ठत्व (śvāsānupradāna, aghoṣa, vivṛtakaṇṭhatva) and अल्पप्राणत्व (alpaprāṇatva). When used as a mute letter by Panini, त् (t) signifies the Svarita accent of the vowel of that affix or so, which is marked with it: e. g. कार्यम्, हार्यम्, पयस्यम् (kāryam, hāryam, payasyam) cf. P. VI.1.185. When appied to a vowel at its end, त् (t) signifies the vowel of that grade only, possessed by such of its varieties which require the same time for their utterance as the vowel marked with त् (t), e. g. आत् (āt) stands for आ (ā) with any of the three accents as also pure or nasalised; आत् (āt) does not include अं (aṃ) or अ (a) 3 cf. तपरस्तत्कालस्य (taparastatkālasya) P. I. 1. 70. The use of the indicatory mute त् (t) for the above purpose is seen also in the Pratis akhya works; cf. V. Pr. I. 114 R. T. 234.
