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.

strī combines root-stem and derivative ī-inflection. The accusatives strīm and strīḥ are later variants. Whitney finds no attestation for the grammarians’ vocative stri, which is therefore marked as a model.
