tu 3 . tu, ind. (a particle, perhaps connected with the pronom. base 2. ta, or with the Vedic pro- noun tva; never found at the beginning of a sentence or verse, and causing the verb with which it is con- structed to retain its accent). As a particle implying ‘earnest entreaty’ or ‘urgent request’ it is often used in the Veda, like Lat. dum, with an imperative, and may be translated by ‘pray!’ ‘I beg,’ ‘do’ (e. g. ā tveta, come here, do); or it may be rendered by ‘well,’ ‘now then,’ ‘now,’ ‘just.’ As an adversative particle it is equivalent to ‘but,’ ‘on the contrary,’ ‘on the other hand’ (e. g. na cchinati janayati tu, he does not destroy but he produces). The sense ‘but’ is most common in later Sanskrit.

tu 1 . tu, the base of some of the cases of the 2nd personal pronoun; [cf. tva.]

Tu is sometimes, however, used for ca, ‘and’ (e. g. ā samudrāt pūrvād ā samudrāt tu paści- māt, to the eastern sea and to the western sea); and even for vā, ‘or’ (e. g. uṣṭra-yānaṃ samāruhya khara-yānaṃ tu, having ascended a camel-carriage or one drawn by donkeys). Sometimes it appears to be incorrectly written for nu (e. g. kin tu for kin nu). Occasionally it seems to be used for tadā after cet (e. g. tāṃ ced na ditseyam pramathyaināṃ hareyus tu, if I were not willing to give her then they would take her by force). Not unfrequently tu is used as an expletive to fill out a verse or prevent the blending of vowels (e. g. īrṣyī ghṛṇī tv a-santuṣṭaḥ, &c., an envious man, one over-com- passionate, a discontented man, &c.). Tu — tu, although — yet; api-tu, moreover; kin tu, but, nevertheless, notwithstanding; paran tu, more- over, but, nevertheless; na tv eva tu, but by no means. According to lexicographers tu implies dis- junction, mutual opposition, alternative, asseveration, emphasis, conjunction, &c.
