Review

In this unit, we applied our basic system to the task of deriving Sanskrit verbs. We saw that the process has a few basic steps:

1. Choose a dhātu from the Dhātupāṭha.

2. Choose the right lakāra.

3. Determine whether the root uses parasmaipada or ātmanepada endings.

4. Replace the lakāra with the appropriate tiṅ ending.

5. Add a vikaraṇa as needed.

6. Apply guṇa changes as needed.

7. Apply sandhi rules.

This unit focused on verbs created with laṭ-lakāra, but all verbs will follow this basic framework.
