PHRASES / IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS
1. Preface: Important points about pronunciation/ spelling
2. The order of arrangement of vowels in words are as follows, according to SAM’SKRTA:-
A, A’, I, II, U, U’, R, E, AE, O, AO, AM’, AH, (refer to # 8 below)
{Vowels Rr, Lr, Lrr are not in common use}
3. JINA is pronounced as GYA (Yajurvedic style) in Bangla’ (Ref: BA’BA’s audios), placed here after JA
4. Vowel R can be pronounced as RI or RU but RI is preferable due to Yajurvedic mode
5. YA at the beginning of word is pronounced as light JA, otherwise as IA. However, placed after MA as beginning of antastha varn’a
6. KS’A can also be pronounced as KKHA, as per Yajurvedic Mode. It is last consonant
7. The inherent “A” of a consonant is sometimes omitted depending upon the mode of pronunciation (halanta).
8. If ma or na come at the end of the root and are followed by a consonant then the fifth letter of that varga is used, or else m’. For example, sham + kara =shaunkara or sham’kara. Both are correct. However, m’ is not used to spell saunga because the na in the verbal root sanj is not a root-ending na. But for practical considerations, alternative M is often used.
[ALTERNATIVELY ACCEPTED, SPELLINGS WITH THE FIFTH LETTER OF THAT VARGA IN PLACE OF (AM’) MAY ALSO BE SEEN ADDITIONALLY]
PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES:
(ANAT’ is used as suffix to root verbs at the end to make verbal nouns and
as prefix to roots before it to make alteration in the meaning)
9. PREFIXES (AFFIXES): A= lack of, pra =
Abhi= towards, into, over, upon. Adhi: pervasive, anta= denoting depth, within or inside,
10. SUFFIXES: mayat’ =made of, krt =activity, sak, n’ak, anat’, d’a, al, anta=to form present participial adjective,
11. Conjunct/ joint letters are usually placed at the end.
12. No additional phonemic or phonetic markings/labels are needed, in ROMAN SAM’SKRTA.
13. Hyphens are not used in glossary, generally with the main word/s, but are most frequently used in the text of Prabha’t Sam’giita, to represent accent, length or extensions of the words, since essential requirement is singing.
14. D’A not appearing in the beginning of the word may be found as R’A according to the pronunciation.
SYMBOLIC/ IDIOMATIC/ FIGURATIVE MEANINGS: (Literal meanings may be rejected sense meanings be accepted, in general but for new learners word meanings are desirable)-There are many symbolic words that Baba used to indicate for Parama Purus’a, viz.
AJA’NA’ PATHIK (unknown traveler), 2. PARII (angel), 3. BHOMORA’/BHRAMAR (honey bee)
