 | | The name Savitar is an agent noun (see grammar section 8.1) from the verb /sû, suváti 'generate, impel', and the poet plays on the name with other derivatives of the root: Savitar is the prasavîtr´, the bringer to life, in verse 5, rousing (prasuván) the world in verse 3 with his sávîman, his generative power. |
 | | The neuter endings differ only in the nominative/accusative/vocative, again the same in all three cases: singular árcat, plural árcanti (the noun jágat in the third verse of the lesson text is in form a neuter participle, as explained in the gloss). |
 | | Feminine nouns of relationship in -tr decline like the masculines, with the single difference of the accusative plural, which ends in -s not -n, so mâtr´s (compare the feminine accusative plural of the -i and -u stems, -îs and -ûs, not -în and ûn, described in section 3 in the first lesson). |
