This is from Nancy to Jerry HE

   I can't shed light on the philosophical discussion on swabhava or
swabhavat, but I studied Sanskirt for a while, and you can pretty
much ignore the ending <t> as probably not being significant to
the meaning of the word.  Sanskrit has no separate prepositions
(to,from, etc) instead, it changes the ending of the nouns to agree
with quantity, gender and case.  Case endings take the place of
prepositions.  Karma and Karman is a good example.
