plained the word as वर्धित.

संदेह ambiguity; doubt regarding the wording of a rule or its interpre- tation or regarding the correct- ness of a word. It is looked upon as the main purpose of grammar to solve doubts regarding the correct- ness of words; cf. व्याख्यानतो विशेषप्रति- प्रत्तिर्नहि संदेहादलक्षणम् Pari. Sekh.Pari.1.

संदेहनिवृत्त्यर्थ lit, meant for the remo- val of doubt; the word is used in connection with a word or an ex- pression or an addition of a mute letter, as seen in the expression of the sutrakara for the purpose of leaving no kind of doubt regarding the wording or its meaning; cf. तत्र अवश्यं संदेहनिवृत्त्यर्थं विशेषार्थिना विशेषोनुप्रयो- क्तव्यः M.Bh. on P.II. 2.24 Vart. 6.

संधारण putting very close in utter- ance; slurring of a phonetic ele- ment when it appears as almost suppressed; cf. संधारणं वर्णश्रुतेः संवरणम् Uvvata on R. Pr. VI. 5.

संधि euphonic combination; phone- tic combination of two vowels or two consonants or one vowel and one consonant resulting from their close utterance; many kinds of such combinations and varieties are giv- en in the Pratisakhya works. In the Siddhantakaumudi, Bhattoji Diksi- ta has given five kinds of such San- dhis at the beginning of his work; cf. पदान्तपदाद्योः संधिः । यः कश्चिद्वैदिकशास्त्रसं- धिरुच्यते स पदान्तपदाद्योर्वेदितव्यः। ते संधयश्चत्वारो भवन्ति । स्वरयोः व्यञ्जनयोः स्वरव्यञ्जनयोश्च V. Pr. III. 3.

संध्य a diphthong: see below the word संधिः cf अत्थनामनी संध्यम् . संध्यक्षर diphthong, a vowel result- ing from a combination of two vowels, but which is to be looked upon as one single vowel by reason of only a single effort being required for its pronunciation; the

letters ए, ऐ, ओ and औ are termed as संध्यक्षर as contrasted with समानाक्षर; cf. अष्टौ समानाक्षराण्यादितस्ततश्चत्वारि संध्यक्षरा- ण्युत्तराणि R. Pr. I. 10; cf. also T. Pr. II. 13, R. T. 111 ; cf. also संध्यक्षराणा- मिदुतौ ह्रस्वादेशे Kat. Pari. 43

संनमन interpretation, explanation: cf यथायथं विभक्तीः संनमयेत् Nir. 1.

संनिकर्ष contact, juxtaposition; this contact between two letters is called संहिता when it is very close; cf. परः संनिकर्षः संहिता P. I. 4,109.

संनिधापन putting together too close, so that the two phonetic elements which are so placed, coalesce together and result into a third, or one of the two merges into another.

संनिधि juxtaposition; coming toge- ther phonetically very close; cf. पदानामविलम्बितेनोच्चारणम् Tarka Sam- graha; अव्यवधानेन अन्वयप्रतियोग्युपस्थितिः Tattvacintamani 4; the same as संनिकर्ष which see above.

संनिपात (1) a contact or relation of two things. cf संनिपातो द्वयोः संबन्धः । Pari. Sek. Pari. 85; (2) coming together; cf न लक्ष्यते विकृतिः संनिपाते M. Bh. on P. III. 2.123 Vart 5.

संनिपातपरिभाषा the maxim or can- vention that an operation which is based upon, or is caused or occasioned by, a relationship bet- ween two things cannot break their relation; in short, such an operation as results in breaking the relationship between two things on which it is based, can- not take place. This dictum is many times followed in grammar in Preventing the application of such rules as are likely to spoil the formation of the correct word; many times, however, this dictum has to be ignored; For details
