Grammar Pattern Used In Gurbani

For better and correct understanding of Gurbani it is important to understand the pattern of grammar of language. It has been observed that for adjective and noun words the pattern is based on Sanskrit grammar. In Sanskrit pattern of grammar the words have been classified as -
1. singular (dual no:)
2. singular (single no:)
3. plural

Once we understand the reference meaning of the words as per above pattern we can get more clear understanding of Gurbani. For example we come across certain words like Saadh Saadhu and Saadhoo, Prabh Prabhu and Prabhoo, Gur Guru and Guroo. Let us take into consideration Saadh Saadhu and Sadhoo, here Saadhoo is singular (dual no:), Saadhu is singular (single no:) and Saadh is plural.

Since reference meanings are different for all the three forms therefore this understanding is important to know the true message of Gurbani. It has been observed that nearly 70% of the Gurbani words appear in the above pattern of grammar. Therefore most of the understanding of Gurbani is obviously related to the knowing of the reference meaning of words in this pattern.
