Sanskrit words carry structured information through five key dimensions: number, case, gender, person, and tense or mood.
These dimensions are not decoration; they tell us how a word functions inside a sentence and how it relates to other words.
For nouns and pronouns, the core dimensions are number, case, and gender: whether the word is singular, dual, or plural; what role it plays; and which grammatical gender it carries.
Case is especially important because it marks function: subject, object, instrument, recipient, source, possession, location, or address.
For verbs, the main dimensions are person, number, and tense or mood: who performs the action, how many are involved, and whether the verb speaks of present, past, future, command, possibility, and more.
This is why Sanskrit can be precise: grammar gives the reader a map before interpretation begins.
