====== INFLECTIONAL AFFIXES ======


In linguistic morphology, inflection (or inflexion) is a process of word formation[1] in which a word is modified to express different grammatical categories such as tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender, mood, animacy, and definiteness. The inflection of verbs is called conjugation, and one can refer to the inflection of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, determiners, participles, prepositions and postpositions, numerals, articles, etc., as declension.


Idea particles are the fundamental radicals used while writing the characters it can be written in a reduced form or in its original form.
 
We can use the analogy of writing the vowels in hindi , so we have main vowels A(अ) ,i (इ) , u(उ) and when writing them we don't actually use the original vowels but simply use their indicators or so called reduced forms , Just as in case of K (क ) + i (इ ) = कि (ki) and similarly in mantrakshar when we use eye + water = tears /cry 

^ character 1            ^ character 2                      ^ combined character   ^
| K(क)                   | i (इ)                            | ki (कि )             |

^ Affix    ^ Grammatical category           ^ Mark                                    ^ Part of speech                                                 ^

===== DECLENSION =====

As an example, even though both of the following sentences consist of the same words, the meaning is different:[1]

  * "The dog chased a cat."
  * "A cat chased the dog."
Hypothetically speaking, suppose English were a language with a more complex declension system in which cases were formed by adding the suffixes:

-no (for nominative singular), -ge (genitive), -da (dative), -ac (accusative), -lo (locative), -in (instrumental), -vo (vocative), -ab (ablative)
The above sentence could be formed with any of the following word orders and would have the same meaning:[1]

  * "The dog<fc #ff0000>no</fc> chased a cat<fc #00ffff>ac</fc>."
  * "A catac chased the dogno."
  * "Chased a catac the dogno."
