Notes on the forms
You learn each pattern through fixed example words. Model forms follow the rules of the cited grammar; attested forms refer to examples given there. Parasmaipada and Ātmanepada are two sets of personal endings. A form’s meaning depends on its context, and the game offers one possible translation. Highlights help you compare forms. In Vedic tables, you practise the filled cells. Links from participles take you to suitable declension tables.

The desiderative formation titikṣa comes from tij, “be sharp”. It has developed the distinct meaning “endure”, which you practise here. The forms follow Whitney’s model in §§1032 and 1040.
