- for the time being, i am ignoring विसर्ग and schwa in पद.
- नञ् becomes अ and अ has its meaning Here. So there will always be confusion whether अ means Here or Not. it means Here in pre-Homo Sapiens era as the ability to pronounce नञ् was intact. But after the emergence of sapiens, अ can also mean “Not” besides “Here”.
- I am ignoring ह्रस्व दीर्घ and प्लुत as similar in dhatu. I am ignoring उदात्त अनु-दात्त and स्वरित. These 3x3=9 varieties will be captured in different meanings that a वर्ण can take. I am doing this because originally these distinctions were non existant. माहेश्वर सूत्र do not capture these and describe only वर्ण. I am consideting ऐ and औ as stand alone स्वर inspite of knowing that they are संयुक्त स्वर because माहेश्वर सूत्र designates them as स्वर
- At present, i am dumping all dicrionary entries in पद. At the end, i will segrigate these into धातु, प्रत्यय, उपसर्ग, and other वर्ण-समास, निपात, अव्यय and पद etc.
