accusative case
– grammatical case usually exhibited by a noun phrase functioning 
as the direct object of the verb, and usually (but by no means always)expressing 
semantically the goal or patient of the action that the verb denotes. 
 
acronym
– blend incorporating only the initial letters of its components, e.g. NATO 
for North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. (Abbreviations such as USA or BBC, in 
which the name of each letter is pronounced in turn, are not acronyms.) 
 
affixation
– process of adding an affix. 
 
allomorph
– one of the variant pronunciations of a morpheme, among which the 
choice is determined by context (phonological, grammatical or lexical). For example, 
[z], [ z] and [s] are phonologically determined allomorphs of the plural suffix, 
occurring respectively in cats, dogs and horses. A morpheme with only one 
pronunciation is sometimes said to have only one allomorph. 
 
allomorphy
– choice of allomorphs, or (in respect of a morpheme) the characteristic 
of having more than one allomorph. 
 
argument 
– noun phrase or prepositional phrase that is a required or expected 
concomitant of a verb. For example, sleep normally has one argument (The boy slept) 
while kick has two (The boy kicked the ball ) and introduce has three (The boy 
introduced his sister to the visitors).

Sanskrit grammarians.
