: Wikisource: A dictionary of Sanskrit grammarLu (लु).—Elision of an affix or its part in the process of the formation of a word as prescribed by the specific mention of the words लुक्, श्लु (luk, ś) and लुप् (lup) which have the syllable लु (lu) as common. The specific feature of the elision by the use of these letters is the prohibition of any such operation for the preceding base as is conditioned by the elided affix; cf. प्रत्ययलोप� प्रत्ययलक्षणम् (pratyayalope pratyayalakṣaṇam) | � लुमताङ्गस्� (na lumatṅgasya) P.I.1.62,63.

Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
