Noun Form Classification shabdaruupa : In chapter 1 and 4
we learnt about noun forms- Each noun has 7 different cases in addi-
tion to a vocative case- The noun form is derived by adding special
suffix sup to the root of the word- All such words are also called
subantapada meaning "ending with sup "- In this chapter
we will learn about classification of nouns and their respective
sup suffixes.
In Sanskrit nouns are classified into different categories based on: their
gender an, ending alphabate- The ending alphabates can be a,
¼aa , i, ii ], u , uu , ree , , sh , t, in , , na ,
da and o etc. A word ending with a is called
akaaraantah or "ending with a". Similarly word ending with i is
called ikaaraantah or "ending with i", and so on.

5
:

The noun form for each category of word is derived by adding


pre&defined pattern of sup suffixes to the word root- All other
words in that category follow the same pattern- For example & the
word "boy" or baala has a form like baalah baalau
baalaah and so on- The word "God" or deva is of the same
category and follows the same pattern as devah devau
devaah In both the cases the suffixes aH au and aah
were added to the root words boy baala and God deva to
get the derived form.
Following is a set of over 40 important nouns with their noun&forms
along with the list of words of same category- Knowing these will help
in deriving the noun forms of other similar words- Note: We are in the
process of adding more such nouns-
Their English Sanskrit equivalents could be roughly NOT precisely
written as below

= Cases, – Singular = Dual – Plular


Nominative/
Accusative/

6
Instrumental/
Dative/
Ablative/
Genitive/
Locative/
Vocative/
Let us discuss about each and its terms of usage-
One Rama Two Ramas Many Ramas- It is simple
a noun given to a person- Consider few examples
He is rama He is a God
Now consider rama as an object- Let us see few more examples;
Here look at rama
Here look at two ramas
Here look at many ramas
by a rama.
by two ramas.
by many ramas
for/to a rama
for/ to two ramas.
for/to many ramas.
from a rama
from two ramas
from many ramas
of a rama
of two ramas
7
of many ramas
in a rama
in two ramas
in many ramas
hey! rama.
hey! two ramas
hey! many ramas
God Rama.
Worship rama
We lives by rama
So, we salute to rama
And we get blessings from rama
We are the children of rama
So, We surrender to rama
Now say, hey Rama! hey Rama! hey Rama!

the receiver of their result- If the result of the action represented by the
