Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Dear labd ~ you must know Sanskrit, or something about it. I know of only one other person who explains Sanskrit words in this way, buy taking them apart and revealing what the parts mean. It makes Sanskrit even more beautiful and mysterious. I wish I could know it. Did you teach yourself, and, if so, how?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Linda, I actually learned it in high school growing up in India. Also some Sanskrit words are found in other Indian languages. I am of Indian origin. Probably most Indians can decostruct Sanskrit compound words. Nothing special. Labd Ammachi , nierika wrote: > > Dear labd ~ you must know Sanskrit, or something about it.
