'Mother' is a word shared throughout the languages as that from which we take birth and according to numerous dialects it appears as 'mother' 'mutter' 'madre' 'mor' 'mate' 'ma' and many variations shared within numerous languages.

 

'Madre' is the word we find in the languages of Spanish, Portuguese and Italian while within English its 'mother' within the language of Iran its 'madar' and within the languages of Swahili and Chinese Mandarin we find the word 'mama'.

 

Sanskrit being a property based language gives a scientific explanation for the word based upon roots whose inherent meanings combine to produce word formations which express the qualities of that which the word is addressing.

 

 

'Ma' is a root from Sanskrit meaning that which is 'limited' and 'measured' it expands as 'matra' meaning a 'unit of measure' and 'unit of time' and this is seen within Europe as 'metre' the metrical system of weights and measures.

 

'Ma' meaning 'measured' expands as 'maga' as in that which moves ( ga ) the limits ( ma ) and whose meaning is 'priest of the sun' and 'magician' and from this we get the ancient priests known as the 'magi' and 'magic' and 'magician'.

 

'Ma' meaning that which is 'limited' expands as 'maha' which is described as that which raises ( ha ) the limits ( ma ) as in that which is 'mighty' and this is seen in other languages as 'magna' 'magnificent' 'magnify' 'magnus' 'magistrate' ect.

 

 

'Tr' is the second part of 'matr' meaning 'performer' as seen in 'potr' one who performs ( tr ) purification ( po ) as seen in 'datr' one who performs ( tr ) the act of giving ( da ) as seen in 'yatr' one who performs ( tr ) a journey ( ya ).

 

'Tr' meaning 'function' 'mechanism' 'instrument' 'performer' is also seen within 'yantra' an instrument ( tr ) for holding ( yam ) the mind and we also find it within 'tantra' an instrument ( tr ) for stretching ( tan ) the mind.

 

'Tr' meaning 'function' 'instrument' 'performer' is also seen within 'pitr' meaning one who performs ( tr ) purification ( pi ) as in the 'father' the complimentary partner of the mother who in ancient times saw their roles as duties.

 

 

'Ma' meaning 'limit' combines with 'Tr' meaning 'function' and this produces 'matr' meaning she who performs the function ( tr ) of setting the limits ( ma ) and the function ( tr ) of maintaining the material world ( ma ).

 

'Matr' also means one who 'measures' as everything comes from 'mother' the measure of all things and throughout life she constantly deals with things of a limited nature which are governed by time and all expressed within her name.

 

Humans have duties to perform and most important are the mother and father and in a property based language duties reflect their names as 'pitr' has the families spiritual welfare and 'matr' is the nest builder, nurturer and gatherer.

 

 

 

"As one of the greatest monuments of human intelligence is by no means an exaggeration; no one who has had even a small acquaintance with that most remarkable book could fail to agree. In some four thousand sutras or aphorisms - some of them no more than a single syllable in length - Panini sums up the grammar not only of his own spoken language, but of that of the Vedic period as well. The work is the more remarkable when we consider that the author did not write it down but rather worked it all out of his head, as it were.” - Leonard Bloomfield (1887-1949) American linguist and author of Language, published in 1933.

 

"Panini's grammar is the earliest scientific grammar in the world, the earliest extant grammar of any language, and one of the greatest ever written. It was the discovery of Sanskrit by the West, at the end of the 18th century, and the study of Indian methods of analysing language that revolutionised our study of language and grammar, and gave rise to our science of comparative philology”. - Walter Eugene Clark - The Legacy of India, p. 339-340.

 

“It was in India, however, that there rose a body of knowledge which was destined to revolutionise European ideas about language. Panini Grammar taught Europeans to analyse speech forms, when one compared the constituent parts, the resemblances, which hitherto had been vaguely recognised, they could be set forth with certainty and precision." American linguist Leonard Bloomfield.
