Notes on the forms
The forms follow Whitney’s Sanskrit Grammar. At the end of a word spoken on its own, ḥ represents final s or r; āi and āu appear as ai and au. You can show word accents in the Latin transliteration (IAST). Forms labelled as models follow the formation rules. The game uses the filled cells.

kroṣṭṛ follows the dātṛ type but takes the middle cases from kroṣṭu: instrumental/dative/ablative dual, instrumental/dative/ablative plural and locative plural. §374 describes this restricted alternation, rather than a free choice between u- and ṛ-inflection.
