Syllabicity

Latest comment: 13 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

"Traditionally syllables (not alphabets)..." To British and American readers, this makes no sense. In Indian English, alphabets are what in British and American English are called letters. In British and American English, "a", "b", and "c", are letters, while Roman, Greek, Cyrillic, and Arabic are alphabets. Maybe alphabet letters would work for everyone, I don't know.

--Yes it will be syllables and not "alphabet letters" - reason being, in Sanskrit the various types of sound waves represent energies (shakti). They are quite well known as 51/52 Matrikas ( 16 vowels and 35/36 consonants); each letter representing one shakti. Thus a combination of letters would compose new shakti. That is a basic premise of constructing vedic meters. utterence of vedic hymns generates sound energies of its kind for its purpose. The suggested reading material should be Panini's Ashtadhyayi in this regard; and Maheshvar sutras of Svatantranand Nath, in case you want to fathom really deep.59.95.100.139 (talk) 08:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
