वि (l) Unadi affix वि quoted by Panini in the rule जाग्रोsविचिण्णल्ङित्सु VII. 1.85; e.g. जागृविः; cf. जृशृस्तृजागृभ्यः क्विन् Unadi IV. 54; also वृदृभ्यां विन् IV.53; (2) common term for the affixes क्विप्, क्विन्, च्वि, ण्वि, ण्विन्, विच् and विट्. See व्,

विक् augment वि as seen in the word दविद्युतत् given as a nipatana in the sutra दाधर्तिदर्धति ...P. VII.4.65; cf. दविद्युतदिति द्युतेर्यङ्लुगन्तस्य शतरि अभ्यासस्य संप्रसारणाभावः अत्वं विक् अागमश्च निपात्यते Kas. on P.VII.4.65.

विकम्पित a fault in the pronunciation of vowels, the utterance being attended with a kind of tremor; cf. ग्रस्तं निरस्त...विकम्पितम् । M. Bh. at the end of Ahnika 1.

विकरण an affix placed between a

root and the personal ending, for showing the specific tense or mood or voice to convey which, the personal ending is applied; e. g. the conjugational signs शप् , श्यन् , श्रु, श, श्नम्, उ, श्ना and यक्, आम्, as also स्य, तास् , सिप् , अाम् and च्लि with its substitutes. Although the term विकरण is used by ancient grammari- ans and freely used by the Maha- bhsyakara in connection with the affixes, mentioned in the sutras of Panini, such as शप् , श्यन् and others, the term is not found in the Sutras of Panini. The vika- ranas are different from the major kinds of the regular affixes तिङ्, कृत्य and other similar ones. The vika- ranas can be called कृत्; so also, as they are mentioned in the topic (अधिकार) of affixes or Pratyayas, they hold the designation ' pratyaya '. For the use of the word विकरण see M.Bh. on P. I.3. 12, III, 1.31 and VI. 1.5. The term विकरण is found. in the Yājñavalkya Siksa in the sense of change, ( cf. उपधारञ्जनं कुर्यान्मनोर्विकरणे सति ) and possibly the ancient grammarians used it in that very sense as they found the root कृ modified as करु or कुरु, or चि as चिनु, or भू as भव before the re- gular personal endings तिप् , तस् etc.

विकर्ष (1)a fault in the utterance of a vowel with its proper accent (acute,grave or circumflex) which results from the proper accent being mixed with another in the utterance: cf.विकर्षो नामाश्लिष्टता Uvvata ' on R. Pr. III. 18; (2) protraction of the accent especially of the circumflex accent.

विकल्प choice or option re: the application of a rule as stated by the word वा, विभाषा, अन्यतरस्याम् or the like; cf.नेति प्रतिषेधो वेति विकल्पः तयोः प्रतिषेधविकल्पयोः 'विभाषा' इति संज्ञा भवति
