George, you spent your whole career reading doctors' writing. Sanskrit should be a breeze.

Now, having picked the low-hanging comedy fruit...

Very interesting in that we see these same things applying to algorithms written presently (are you listening Facebook?) - incorrect interpretation resulting in flawed results. Panini's rules seem to be very similar to programming specifications. I think calling it a machine is as apt as any description.

I did not quite get the interpretation of the stem and suffix of guruana.

I also sent the article to The Princess that she might see her own thesis this spring as a bit less daunting.

I love reading about those "Ah-HA!" moments which turn everything around.

Actually, it's not backwards but upside-down.
