Ta°, (Vedic tad, etc.; Gr. tόn tήn tό; Lat. is-te, tālis, etc.; Lith. tás tā; Goth. pata; Ohg. etc. daz; E. that) base of demonstr. pron. for nt. , in oblique cases of m. & f. , & in demonstr. adv. of place & time (see also sa). ‹-› 1. Cases: Nom. sg. nt. tad (older) Vin. I, 83; Sn. 1052; Dh. 326; Miln. 25 & taṃ (cp. yaṃ, kiṃ) Sn. 1037, 1050; J. III, 26; Acc. m. taṃ J. II, 158, f. taṃ J. VI, 368; Gen. tassa, f. tassā (Sn. 22, 110; J. I, 151); Instr. tena, f. tāya (J. III, 188); Abl. tasmā (J. I, 167); tamhā Sn. 291, 1138; (J. III, 26) & tato (usually as adv.) (Sn. 390); Loc. tasmiṃ (J. I, 278), tamhi (Dh. 117); tahiṃ (adv.) (Pv. I, 57) & tahaṃ (adv.) (J. I, 384; VvA. 36); pl. Nom. m. te (J. II, 129), f. tā (J. II, 127), nt. tāni (Sn. 669, 845); Gen. tesaṃ, f. tāsaṃ (Sn. 916); Instr. tehi, f. tāhi (J. II, 128); Loc. tesu, f. tāsu (Sn. 670).—In composition (Sandhi) both tad- & taṃ- are used with consecutive phonetic changes (assimilation), viz. (a) tad°: (a) in subst. function: tadagge henceforth D. I, 93 taduṭṭhāya DhA. III, 344; tadūpiya (cp. Trenckner, Notes 77, 78=tadopya (see discussion under opeti), but cp. Sk. tadrūpa Divy 543 & tatrupāya. It is simply tad-upa-ka, the adj. ‹-› positive of upa, of which the compar. -superlative is upama, meaning like this, i.e. of this or the same kind. Also spelt tadūpikā (f.) (at J. II, 160) agreeing with, agreeable, pleasant Miln. 9; tadatthaṃ to such purpose SnA 565.—With assimilation: taccarita; tapparāyaṇa Sn. 1114; tappoṇa (=tad-pra-ava-nata) see taccarita; tabbisaya (various) PvA. 73; tabbiparīta (different) Vism. 290; DhA. III, 275; tabbiparītatāya in contrast to that Vism. 450.—(b) as crude form (not nt.) originally only in Acc. (nt.) in adj. function like tad-ahan this day, then felt as euphonic d, esp. in forms where similarly the euphonic t is used (ajja-t-agge). Hence ta- is abstracted as a crude (adverbial) form used like any other root in composition. Thus: tad-ah-uposathe on this day’s fast-day=to-day (or that day) being Sunday D. I, 47; Sn. p. 139 (explained as tam-ah-uposathe, uposatha-divase ti at SnA 502); tadahe on the same day PvA. 46; tadahū (id.) J. V, 215 (=tasmiṃ chaṇa-divase). tad-aṅga for certain, surely, categorical (orig. concerning this cp. kimaṅga), in tadaṅga-nibbuta S. III, 43; tadaṅga-samatikkama Nd2 203; tadaṅga-vikkhambhana-samuccheda Vism. 410; tadaṅga-pahāna DhsA. 351; SnA 8; tadaṅgena A. IV, 411.—(b) tan°: (a) as subst. : tammaya (equal to this, up to this) Sn. 846 (=tapparāyana Nd2 206); A. I, 150.—(b) Derived from Acc. use (like a b) as adj. is taṅkhaṇikā (fr. taṃ khaṇaṃ) Vin. III, 140 (=muhuttikā).—(g) a reduced form of taṃ is to be found as ta° in the same origin & application as ta-d- (under a b) in combination ta-y-idaṃ (for taṃidaṃ›taṃ-idaṃ›ta-idaṃ›ta-y-idaṃ) where y. takes the place of the euphonic consonant. Cp. in application also Gr. tou_to & tau_ta, used adverbially as therefore (orig. just that) Sn. 1077; Pv. I, 33; PvA. 2, 16 (=taṃ idaṃ), 76. The same ta° is to be seen in tāhaṃ Vv 8315 (=taṃ-ahaṃ), & not to be confused with tāhaṃ=te ahaṃ (see tvaṃ).—A similar combination is taṃyathā Miln. 1 (this is how, thus, as follows) which is the Sk. form for the usual P. seyyathā (instead of ta-(y)—yathā, like ta-y-idaṃ); cp. Trenckner, P. M. p. 75.—A sporadic form for tad is tadaṃ Sn. p. 147 (even that, just that; for tathaṃ?).—II. Application: 1. ta° refers or points back to somebody or something just mentioned or under discussion (like Gr. ou(=tos, Lat. hic, Fr. ci in voici, cet homme-ci, etc.): this, that, just this (or that), even this (or these). In this sense combined with api: te c’âpi (even these) Sn. 1058. It is also used to indicate something immediately following the statement of the speaker (cp. Gr. o(/de, E. thus): this now, esp. in adv. use (see below); taṃ kiṃ maññasi D. I, 60; yam etaṃ pañhaṃ apucchi Ajita taṃ vadāmi te: Sn. 1037; taṃ te pavakkhāmi (this now shall I tell you: ) Sn. 1050; tesaṃ Buddho vyākāsi (to those just mentioned answered B.) Sn. 1127; te tositā (and they, pleased ... ) ib. 1128.—2. Correlative use: (a) in rel. sentences with ya° (preceding ta°): yaṃ ahaṃ jānāmi taṃ tvaṃ jānāsi “what I know (that) you know” D. I, 88; yo nerayikānaṃ sattānaṃ āhāro tena so yāpeti “he lives on that food which is (characteristic) of the beings in N.; or: whichever is the food of the N. beings, on this he lives” PvA. 27.—(b) elliptical (with omission of the verb to be) yaṃ taṃ=that which (there is), what (is), whatever, used like an adj.; ye te those who, i.e. all (these), whatever: ye pana te manussā saddhā ... te evam ahaṃsu ... “all those people who were full of faith said” Vin. II, 195; yena tena upāyena gaṇha “catch him by whatever means (you like), ” i.e. by all means J. II, 159; yaṃ taṃ kayirā “whatever he may do” Dh. 42.—3. Distributive and iterative use (cp. Lat. quisquis, etc.): ... taṃ taṃ this & that, i.e. each one; yaṃ yaṃ passati taṃ taṃ pucchati whomsoever he sees (each one) he asks PvA. 38; yaṃ yaṃ manaso piyaṃ taṃ taṃ gahetvā whatever ... (all) that PvA. 77; yo yo yaṃ yaṃ icchati tassa tassa taṃ taṃ adāsi “whatever anybody wished he gave to him” PvA. 113. So with adv. of ta°: tattha tattha here & there (frequent); tahaṃ tahaṃ id. J. I, 384; VvA. 36, 187; tato tato Sn. 390.—(b) the same in disjunctivecomparative sense: taṃ ... taṃ is this so & is this so (too)=the same as, viz. taṃ jīvaṃ taṃ sarīraṃ is the soul the same as the body (opp. aññaṃ j. a. s.) A. V, 193, etc. (see jīva).—4. Adverbial use of some cases (locala, temporalb, & modalc): Acc. taṃ (a) there (to): tad avasari he withdrew there D. II. 126, 156; (b) taṃ enaṃ at once, presently (=tāvad-eva) Vin. I, 127 (cp. Ved. enā); (c) therefore (cp. kiṃ wherefore, why), that is why, now, then: S. II, 17; M. I, 487; Sn. 1110; Pv. I, 23 (=tasmā PvA. 11 & 103); II, 716; cp. taṃ kissa hetu Nd2 on jhāna.—Gen. tassa (c) therefore A. IV, 333. ‹-› Instr. tena (a) there (direction=there to), always in correl. with yena: where-there, or in whatever direction, here & there. frequent in formula denoting approach to a place (often unnecessary to translate); e.g. yena Jīvakassa ambavanaṃ tena pāyāsi: where the Mangogrove of J. was, there he went=he went to the M. of J. D. I, 49; yena Gotamo ten’upasaṅkama go where G. is D. I, 88; yena āvasathâgāraṃ ten’upasaṅkami D. II, 85 etc.; yena vā tena vā palāyanti they run here & there A. II, 33; (c) so then, now then, therefore, thus (often with hi) J. I, 151, 279; PvA. 60; Miln. 23; tena hi D. II, 2; J. I, 266; III, 188; Miln. 19.—Abl. tasmā (c) out of this reason, therefore Sn. 1051, 1104; Nd2 279 (=taṃ kāraṇaṃ); PvA. 11, 103; tato (a) from there, thence Pv. I, 123; (b) then, hereafter PvA. 39.—Loc. tahiṃ (a) there (over there›beyond) Pv. I, 57; (c) =therefore PvA. 25; tahaṃ (a) there; usually repeated: see above II. 3 (a).—See also tattha, tathā, tadā, tādi, etc. (Page 291)

ṭa (ट).—m A blockhead or numskull. ṭa, pha, karīta vācaṇēṃ To read trippingly and blunderingly--a tyro or novice.

--- OR ---

ta (त).—The sixteenth consonant, and the first of the fourth or dental class; sounded as T in tube, tulip, tune, or more softly still. ta, as well as ṭa, and their aspirates tha & ṭha, must be acquired by the ear. The English T represents with exactitude neither ta nor ṭa, being medial betwixt the softness of the dental and the sharpness or hardness of the palatal. Further, T has with English speakers many shades of softness and hardness, and the English ear is heavy or full of kind allowance. Not so interchanged are ta & ṭa by the Native tongue; and not so indiscriminating or accommodating is the Native ear. To distinguish these letters accurately is all-important. The above notice, substituting for ta, da, for ṭa, ḍa, for the aspirates tha & ṭha, the aspirates dha & ḍha, and for T, D, applies, word for word, to the letter द. It may be profitable to observe here that the universal apprehension, by Native students of English, of the sound of the English letters T & D as exactly that respectively of their own ṭa & ḍa, and the practice, all but universal, by the teachers of English (whether of this country or of England) of either teaching or admitting this representation of T & D unto the exclusion, absolutely and altogether, of ta & da--are unwarranted by the case, and fraught with detriment to Native scholarship. As T & D are incorrectly and most offensively conveyed in vocal expression by ṭa & ḍa, and as Th (as in think, thing), and as standing for Dh (as in thus, that), would be quite insufferably rendered by ṭha & ḍha, whilst by ta & da they are re-uttered, although more softly and sweetly, yet, to no English ear, objectionably (e. g. compare, as competing equivalents for tune, tulip, dupe, due ṭyūna, ṭyūlipa, ḍyūpa, ḍyū & tyūna, tyūlipa, dyūpa, dyū, and, as equivalents for think, thus, compare ṭhiṅka, ṭhasa & thiṅka, thasa), it is suggested that, as representatives of T & D, ṭa & ḍa be disallowed and discarded, and ta & da (with the approximating tha for Th) be employed and taught--and this universally.

tā (ता).—An affix to Sanskrit adjectives and nouns to form the noun abstract; as miṣṭatā, yōgyatā, dēvatā, suvarṇatā, from miṣṭa, yōgya, dēva, suvarṇa. All such nouns are feminine. As they are formed at will, and demand no explanation, they do not appear in this dictionary. See notice of the distinction betwixt & tva under tva.
