pronouns

LEÍSMO, LOÍSMO, LAÍSMO These terms refer to the reversal of the standard distinction between direct and indirect object personal pronouns in Spanish. Normally lo(s) and la(s) are the direct object pronouns (eg: Lo/La vi ayer I saw him/her yesterday) and le(s) the indirect equivalents (eg: Le di tu recado I gave him/her your message). Leísmo involves replacing lo(s) and sometimes la(s) with le(s) (eg: Le vi ayer), while loísmo and laísmo mean using lo(s) and la(s) instead of le(s) (eg: Lo/La di tu recado). Whereas leísmo is relatively socially acceptable in most of Spain, though not Latin America, loísmo and laísmo tend to be frowned upon everywhere.
leísmo sustantivo masculino: use of


Gram = use of “le” as direct object instead of “lo”, characteristic of certain regions in Spain, considered correct in the case of people and incorrect in the case of animals and objects

a

the first short vowel inherent in consonants
- अकार-
2) ( pragṛihya q.v.), a vocative particle < aananta, O Vishṇu> T. ;
interjection of pity, Ah!
3) (before a vowel an, exc. a-ṛiṇin),
prefix corresponding to Gk. ἀ, ἀν, Lat. in, Goth. andﾠ Germ. un, Eng. in orﾠ un,
andﾠ having a negative orﾠ privative orﾠ contrary sense
( an-eka not one;
an-anta endless;
a-sat not good;
a-paṡyat not seeing);
rarely prefixed to Inf.
a-svaptum not to sleep TāṇḍyaBr. andﾠ even to forms of the finite verb ( a-spṛihayanti they do not desire BhP. Ṡiṡ.)
andﾠ to pronouns ( a-saḥ not he Ṡiṡ. ;
a-tad not that BhP.);
occasionally denoting comparison ( a-brāhmaṇa like a Brahman T.);
sometimes disparagement ( a-yajña a miserable sacrifice);
sometimes diminutiveness (cf. á-karṇa, an-udarā);
rarely an expletive (cf. a-kupya, a-pūpa)
According to Pāṇ. 6-2, 161, the accent may be optionally either on the first orﾠ last syllable in certain compounds formed with a
(as á-tīkshṇa orﾠ a-tīkshṇá, á-ṡuci orﾠ a-ṡucí, án-anna orﾠ an-anná);
the same applies to stems ending in tṛi accentuated on the first syllable before a is prefixed;
cf. alsoﾠ á-tūrta andﾠ a-tū́rta, á-bhinna andﾠ a-bhinná, etc.
4) the base of some pronouns andﾠ pronom. forms, in asya, atra, etc.
5) the augment prefixed to the root in the formation of the imperfect, aorist, andﾠ conditional tenses
(in the Veda often wanting, as in Homer, the fact being that originally the augment was only prefixed in principal sentences where it was accentuated, whilst it was dropped in subordinate sentences where the root-vowel took the accent)
6) m. N. of Vishnu L. (especially as the first of the three sounds in the sacred syllable om)
- अऋणिन्

u

2) ind. an interjection of compassion, anger L. ;
a particle implying assent, calling, command L. ;
3) ind. an enclitic copula used frequently in the Vedas;
(as a particle implying restriction andﾠ antithesis, generally after pronominals, prepositions, particles, andﾠ before nu andﾠ su, equivalent to) andﾠ, alsoﾠ, further;
on the other hand (especially in connexion with a relative
e.g.. yau, he on the contrary who etc.)
This particle may serve to give emphasis, like id andﾠ eva,
especially after prepositions orﾠ demonstrative pronouns,
in conjunction with nu, vai, hi, cid, etc.
(e.g.. ayámuvāmpurutámo.. johavīti RV. III, 62, 2,
this very person < your worshipper> invokes you etc.)
It is especially used in the figure of speech called Anaphora,
andﾠ particularly when the pronouns are repeated
(e.g.. támustushaíndramtámgṛiṇīshe RV. II, 20, 4,
him I praise, Indra, him I sing)
It may be used in drawing a conclusion, like the English « now»
(e.g.. tádutáthānákuryāt ṠBr. V, 2, 2, 3,
that now he should not do in such a manner),
andﾠ is frequently found in interrogative sentences
(e.g.. káutácciketa RV. I, 164, 48,
who, I ask, should know that?)
Pāṇini calls this particle uñ to distinguish it from the interrogative u
In the Pada-pāṭha it is written ūm. In the c
assical language u occurs only after atha, na, andﾠ kim, with a slight modification of the sense, andﾠ often only as an expletive ( seeﾠ kim);
u - u orﾠ u - uta, on the one hand - on the other hand;
partly - partly;
as, well - as
4) cl. 5. P. unoti ( seeﾠ vy-u RV. V, 31, 1):
cl. 2. Ā. (1. sg. uvé RV. X, 86, 7):
cl. 1. Ā. avate Dhātup. ;
to call to, hail;
to roar, bellow ( seeﾠ alsoﾠ ôta = ā-uta)
5) m. N. of Ṡiva;
alsoﾠ of Brahman L. ;
- उकार

etád

gaṇa sarvâ̱di Pāṇ. 1-1, 27)
this, this here, here (especially as pointing to what is nearest to the speaker
e.g.. eshabāṇaḥ, this arrow here in my hand;
eshayātipanthāḥ, here passes the way;
eshakālaḥ, here i.e. now, is the time;
etad, this here i.e. this world here below);
sometimes used to give emphasis to the personal pronouns (e.g.. esho'ham, I, this very person here) orﾠ with omission of those pronouns
(e.g.. eshatvāṉsvargaṉnayāmi, I standing here will convey thee to heaven;
etaupravishṭausvaḥ, we two here have entered);
as the subject of a sentence it agrees in gender andﾠ number with the predicate without reference to the noun to be supplied (e.g.. etadevahimedhanam, for this <scil. cow> is my only wealth MBh.);
but sometimes the neuter sing. remains (e.g.. etadgurushuvṛittiḥ, this is the custom among Gurus Mn. II, 206);
etad generally refers to what precedes,
esp. when connected with idam, the latter then referring to what follows
(e.g.. eshavaiprathamaḥkalpaḥ anukalpastvayaṉjñeyaḥ,
this before-mentioned is the principal rule, but this following may be considered a secondary rule Mn. III, 147);
it refers alsoﾠ to that which follows, esp. when connected with a relative clause (e.g.. eshacai ͡vagururdharmoyampravakshyāmyahaṉtava, this is the important law, which I will proclaim to you MBh.) RV. etc. etc.;
(ád) ind. in this manner, thus, so, here, at this time, now
(e.g.. návā́uetánmriyase, thou dost not die in this manner orﾠ by that RV. I, 162, 21)
