LIST
OF ARYAN ROOTS |
|
A
brief list of the principal Aryan roots occurring in English. |
|
The roots are arranged according to
the alphabetical order of the Sanskrit alphabet, by help of which
we obtain an Aryan alphabet, as follows a, i, u,
ai, au; k, g, gh; t, d,
dh, n; p, b, bh, m; y,
r, l, w; s. Forms in bold type, as ✔AK, are Aryan; forms in non-bold type in parenthesis,
as (= ✔AH), are Teutonic. If
you have trouble finding a root, consult the Index at the bottom
of each page, which is arranged in English order. |
