2. m. (-ktaḥ) (In the system of Pāṇini.) An affix the

real value of which consists of a single letter (according to

the Sūtra I. 2. 41.; but the practical purport of this general

rule is conveyed by the restrictions of two Vārttikas and

Patanjali's Bhāṣya to this effect, that in Pāṇini the term ap-

plies amongst affixes of a single consonant, to the affix v

which is technically called kvip, kvin and ṇvi--comp.

VI. 1. 67.--, to the nom. sing. aff. s--technic. su--and

to the second and third pers. sing. of the imperf. s and t,

substitutes of si and ti--; amongst affixes of a single

vowel, to a which is technically aṇ, to i which is tech-

nically iñ--comp. II. 4. 58.--, and, as Patanjali adds,

to a, technically ṇa--comp. IV. 1. 150.--). E. a neg.

and pṛkta, 1. scil. kāra or pada, 2. scil. pratyaya.
