Lesson 5

Beginning Prayers:
  • शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुम् - shuklaambaradharaM viShNum
  • सरस्वति नमस्तुभ्यम् - saraswati namastubhyam 
  • गुरुर्ब्रह्मा गुरुर्विष्णुः - gururbrahmaa gururviShNuH 

Topic Summary:
  • More examples of making syllables
  • Verbs revision
  • Make simple pronoun and verb sentences

Home Work:
  • Practice writing the alphabet
  • Write sentences for all the verbs learnt so far

Topic Details:

Writing the samyuktaakShara forms for त-वर्ग, प-वर्ग and अवर्गीय व्यञ्जन (य thru ह) are done in this lesson.  Those that do not have the ending vertical line are written with a small slash on the bottom, as in, ट्, ठ्, ड्, ढ्, etc.  Check samyuktaakShara list for the same.

There are a few special representations for some combinations that appear often in the language.  They are

क् + ष = क्ष 
त् + र = त्र
ज् + ञ = ज्ञ 

We will deal with र् in the next lesson.

Verbs are put together with pronouns to make little sentences.  The words for I, me and he can make sentences with the 3 different verb persons we have seen earlier.

अहं - I
त्वं - you
सः - he

Example sentences would be

अहं पठामि
त्वं पठसि
सः पठति

अहं लिखामि 
त्वं लिखसि
सः लिखति

अहं वदामि 
त्वं वदसि
सः वदति

Try making such sentences with the rest of the verbs learnt so far.

We shall learn more sentences in the next lesson.

Ending prayer:
  •  ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम् - aum pUrNamadaH pUrNamidam
