anudātta

anudātta mfn. (-ttaḥ-ttā-ttaṃ) Unaccented. m. (-ttaḥ) One of the three accents to be observed in reading the Vedas, the grave accent.

E. an neg. ut high, and ātta pronounced, from dā to give, with āṅa prefixed, to speak, and kta affixed: pronouncing the vowels in a low and full tone.

anudātta (ttaḥ) 1. m. A grave accent.

anudātta Tatpur. (In Grammar.) 1. m. f. n. (-ttaḥ-ttā-ttam)

Not elevated, not being pronounced with the accent called

udātta (q. v.) or svarita (q. v.) (as the syllable of a word).

2. m. (-ttaḥ) The not elevated accent, the accent (see

svara and vāhyaprayatna) which is neither udātta (q. v.) nor

svarita (q. v.) and which by the depression of the voice, it

requires, prepares, as it were, for the greater effort in the

pronunciation of the syllables accented with the udātta or

svarita. This depression being the greatest when the syl-

lable having the anudātta accent, is immediately followed

by a syllable accented with the udātta or svarita, the anu-

dātta is called in this case anudāttatara ‘a very anudātta’.

The mode of marking the anudātta, is restricted, as is also

the case with the other two accents, to the vaidik Sanhitās

(Sanhitā-Pāṭhas) and Brāhmaṇas, and varies according to

the different Vedas. In the Sanhitā, Pada and the Brāhmaṇas

of the Ṛgveda, in the Sanhitā and Pada of the Yajur- and

Sanhitā of the Atharvaveda the Anudātta is marked with a

horizontal line under the syllable so accented (thus becoming

comparable also in graphic value to the sign of the Virāma, the

horizontal line representing as it were the repose in accentua-

tion); in the Brāhmaṇas of the White Yajurveda, it is not

marked at all; and in the Sanhitā of the Sāmaveda the anu-

dātta syllable when anudāttatara before an udātta, or before

a svarita syllable bearing the figures 2 or 3, is marked with

the figure 3 over it, except when it is preceded in the be-

ginning of a verse by other anudātta syllables, in which

case only the first anudātta syllable bears the figure 3,

while the following anudātta syllables are left unmarked.

If the anudāttatara is followed by a svarita syllable bearing

the sign 2ra, the syllable so accented is marked with 3ka.

In the Pada-text of the Sāmaveda the sign 3 denotes the

anudāttatara before an udātta, if the latter occupies the

second syllable from the beginning, or the syllable before

an anudāttatara, if the latter is followed by a svarita, or

lastly the anudātta accentuation of a syllable so marked and

of all the syllables following it until an udātta or svarita

syllable comes; the sign 3ka or ka denotes the anudāttatara

immediately followed by a svarita. Compare also the terms

nīca, nihata, nyasta, nyastatara, niyata, nighāta, nyāsa, niyama

and the radd. han with ni and yam with ni.--In the native

lists of radicals, the Dhātupāthas, certain radicals have the

anudātta accent as an it (q. v.) or anubandha (q. v.) connected

with them i. e. as a technical sign for certain rules they are

subject to with respect to derivation &c. See also anu-

dāttet and anudāttopadeśa. E. a neg. and anudātta.

anudātta an-udātta, as, ā, am, not raised,

not elevated, not pronounced with the Udātta accent,

grave; accentless, having the neutral general tone

neither high nor low: the term Anudātta is used

by Pāṇini both for the grave or non-elevated accent

(explained by him as sannatara, q. v.) which im-

mediately precedes the Udātta, and also for the

general accentless, neutral tone, neither high nor low,

explained as eka-śruti, i. e. the one monotonous

ordinary intonation which belongs to the generality

of syllables in a sentence; (as), m. one of the three

accents to be observed in reading the Vedas, the

grave accent. —Anudātta-tara, as, m. more than

Anudātta, still lower in sound than Anudātta, i. e.

the very Anudātta accent (or a syllable having this

accent) which immediately precedes a syllable hav-

ing the Udātta or Svarita accent, and is therefore

more depressed than the ordinary Anudātta. —An-

udāttādi (°ta-ād°), n. (in gram.) a nominal base

of which the first syllable is Anudātta. —Anudāttet

(°ta-it°), t, m. a verbal root having for its Anubandha

Ātmane-pada terminations only; also anudāttopa-

deśa. —Anudāttodaya (°ta-ud°), am, n. a syllable

immediately preceding the Anudātta accent.
