iva |
ind. (fr. pronominal base 3. %{i}) , like , in the same manner as (in this sense = %{yathA} , and used correlatively to %{tathA}) ; as it were , as if (e.g. %{pathe7va} , as if on a path) ; in a certain manner , in some measure , a little , perhaps (in qualification or mitigation of a strong assertion) ; nearly , almost , about (e.g. %{muhUrtam@iva} , almost an hour) ; so , just so , just , exactly , indeed , very (especially after words which involve some restriction e.g. %{ISad@iva} , just a little ; %{kiMcid@iva} , just a little bit: and after a negation e.g. %{na@cirAd@iva} , very soon). %{iva} is connected vaguely , and somewhat pleonastically , with an interrogative pronoun or adverb (e.g. %{kim@iva} , what? %{katham@iva} , how could that possibly be? %{kve7va} , where , I should like to know?). In the Pada texts of the R2ig , Yajur , and Atharva-veda , and by native grammarians , %{iva} is considered to be enclitic , and therefore compounded with the word after which it stands RV. AV. &c. &c. |
