orﾠ by fut. orﾠ by Impv. orﾠ by Pot. orﾠ by no verb);

atha, atra, tad, tena, tatas, tataḥparam, tadā, tarhi, tadānīm. Observe that yadi may sometimes = « as sure as» (esp. in asseverations, followed by Impv. with orﾠ without tathā orﾠ tena orﾠ followed by Pot. with tad) MBh. Kāv. etc.;
orﾠ it may = « whether» (followed by Pres. orﾠ Pot. orﾠ no verb e.g.. yadi-navā, « whether- orﾠ not», andﾠ sometimes kim is added) ib. ;

yadināma, « if ever» ;
yadicêt ( cêt being added redundantly) = « if» (e.g.. yadicêtsyāt, « if it should be»);
purāyadi = « before» (e.g.. purāyadipaṡyāmi, « before that I seeﾠ»);
yádyápi (rarely apiyadi), « even if», « although» (followed by tathâ̱pi orﾠ tadapi orﾠ sometimes by no particle in the correlative clause);
yadi - yadica-yadyapi, « if - andﾠ if - if alsoﾠ» ;
yádi - yádi-vā, orﾠ yádivā - yádivā, orﾠ yádivā - yádi, orﾠ yadivā - vā, orﾠ vā - yadivā, orﾠ yadvā - yadivā, « if - orﾠ if», « whether - orﾠ» ;
yádivā - návā, « whether - orﾠ not» ;
vā - yadivā - yadivā-tathâ̱pi, « whether - orﾠ - orﾠ - yet» ;
vāyadi = « orﾠ if», « orﾠ rather» ;

vā

vā-vā, either - orﾠ, on the one side - on the other;
navā - vā orﾠ na - vā, neither - nor;
vāna-vā, either not - orﾠ;
yadivā-vā, whether - orﾠ;
in a sentence containing more than two members vā is nearly always repeated, although if a negative is in the first clause it need not be so repeated;
vā is sometimes interchangeable with ca andﾠ api, andﾠ is frequently combined with other particles, esp. with atha, athô, uta, kim, yad, yadi q.v. <e.g.. athavā, « orﾠ else» >;
it is alsoﾠ sometimes used as an expletive);
either- orﾠ not, optionally KātyṠr. Mn. etc. (in gram. vā is used in a rule to denote its being optional e.g.. Pāṇ. 1-2, 13; 35 etc..);
as, like (= iva) PārGṛ. MBh. etc.;
just, even, indeed, very (= eva, laying stress on the preceding word) KātyṠr. Kāv. ;
but even if, even supposing (followed by a future) Pañc. V, 36/37 ;
however, nevertheless Bādar. Bālar. ;
(after a rel. orﾠ interr.) possibly, perhaps, I dare say MBh. Kāv. etc.
(e.g.. kiṉvāṡakuntalêtyasyamāturākhyā, « is his mother's name perhaps Ṡakuntalā?» Ṡak. VII, 20/21 ;
kovā orﾠ kevā followed by a negative may in such cases be translated by « every one, all»
e.g.. kevānasyuḥparibhava-padaṉnishphalâ̱ram-bha-yatnāḥ, « everybody whose efforts are fruitless is an object of contempt» Megh. 55)
