n      Note:

n      In Sanskrit, gender depends upon the nature of the word, but not the meaning.

n      For example: the word vRiksha(वृक्ष) which denotes a tree is in Masculine gender.

n      The three words daaraah (दारा:), bhaarya (भार्या) and kalatram (कलत्रम्) used in the same meaning (wife) are in three genders masculine, feminine and neuter respectively.

n      The most peculiar thing is that the word darah (दारा:) is always in plural however a person has only one wife.

n      Some words like Tata (तट) is in three genders as (तट:)tata: (तटी)tatii (तटम्)tatam

n      क:?  (kaha)= who

n       का ? ( kaa)= who

n      किम्? (kim?)= what

n      स: ( saha)   क: (kaha)?= Who is he?

n      सा  (saa)    का( kaa) ? Who is she?

n      तत् (tat)    किम् ?(kim?) What is that?
