tva (त्व).—An affix to Sanskrit adjectives and nouns to form the noun abstract. All such formations are neuter. As they demand no interpretation, and no further notice than the following exhibition of the distinction betwixt these formations and those with the affix tā, they, with the exception of certain few pertaining to Heads ii and iii., do not appear in this dictionary. These two affixes, tva & tā, are understood by Sanskrit grammarians and scholars to be, excepting only in gender, equivalent. But they are not thus equivalent:--they demand other exceptions. In being adjuncts for the formation of the abstract noun, and in being in some few instances justly interchangeable and in some other few laxly confounded, they agree; but they differ--First, In that, whilst tā forms the abstract from adjectives, tva, although, likewise, forming it from adjectives, forms it mainly from nouns--concrete nouns: Secondly, In that, whilst tā forms abstracts of quality, tva forms abstracts of office or function, state or condition, and of the stages or periods of life; tā thus answering to ness, tva to ship and hood: Thirdly, In that, whilst tā & tva both form abstract terms expressing attributes or properties, there pertains preferableness or greater eligibility to tva: Fourthly, In that tā, even in the cases common to tā & tva, is the popular or familiar affix, and tva the scholastic or ornate affix. Of the first and second particulars of difference exemplification may be adduced in yōgyatā, arhatā, ārdratā, uṣṇatā--abstracts from adjectives, answering to fitness, wetness &c.; and in rājatva, pradhānatva, paṇḍitatva, śiṣyatva, dāsatva, bhṛtyatva, pitṛtva, mātṛtva, putratva, bhrātṛtva, bhartṛtva, puruṣatva, strītva, bālatva, taruṇatva, vṛddhatva--abstracts from concretes, answering to kingship, childhood &c. Of the third particular illustration is found in laghutā as excelled by laghutva, mahattā by mahatva, gurutā by gurutva, dravatā by dravatva, ajñānatā by ajñānatva, and in dātṛtā &c. im- measurably by dātṛtva, vaktṛtva, karttṛtva, niyantṛtva, bhōktṛtva &c. &c. Of the last particular the verification is in duṣṭatā, miṣṭatā, āmlatā, tīkṣṇatā, kaṭutā, kṣāratā &c. endlessly, as compared with duṣṭatva, miṣṭatva &c.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
