[QUOTE="prakash.s.bagga, post: 157128, member: 12957"] [b]Re: Creator /God ਦਾਤਾ/ਰੱਬ in SGGS is Masculine or Feminine and what is the significance?[/b] AMBARSARIA ji, I have different views about the meaning and pronunciation of the very first SYMBOL. Since the whole understanding seems to be based on the correct knowledge of this SYMBOL. Every scholars agree to a point that the SYMBOL has three parts as 1...Numerical Number One 2...Word "Ong" 3....A wave like line refered as KaaR. With above information we can see that there are two possible combination of these three parts to get the meaning. COMBINATION A....Here Numerical Number is taken as IKas separate and word Ong is combined with KaaR to get as Oankaar. We write this as IK Oankaar as the pronunciation and give meaning accordingly. COMBINATION .B...Here Numerical Number can be along withword Ong as EKONg and Kaar can be taken as separate to get as EKANKAAR. I find that in Gurbani the COMBINATION B is more appropriate than Combination A. The reason can be clear from the grammer of the word "Ong". For this let us look a quote from Gurbani as EAM swD siqgur nmskwrM ] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#008000](250-8) [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3]o-aN saa[U]Dh[/U] sa[U]t[/U]gur namaskaaraN. [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]ONG: I humbly bow in reverence to the One Universal Creator, to the Holy True Guru[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] You can see that the word Ong in Gurmukhi script is PLURAL.To make word SINGULAR there is no possibility of making use of matra of AUKAD under its last letter .So the application of Numerical Number One before the word Ong makes this word SINGULAR as EKOng. So we have the words as Word Ong.......PLURAL Word EKONg....SINGULAR of Ong. So the above consideration makes clear that the Pronunciation of the SYMBOL should be related to COMBINATION B as EKANKAAR which is found in SGGS . It would be interesting to note that there is no such pronunciation as Ik Oankaar in SGGS EKANKAAR is a pronunciation that is in SGGS ,this is accepted by Prof Sahib Singh ji too but surprisingly ithas just been mentioned but not considered during interpretation of Gurbani. I feel that our knowledge about the pronunciation and Meaning of the SYMBOL is totally based of information from Hindu Philosophy whereas there is very clear understanding of Gurbani words according to the Rule of grammers. I find that we lack in sincerity and clarity in applying the gramatical consideration as indicated by our 5th NANAK Guru Arjan Dev ji. These are my personal views based on gramatical observations of Gurbani words. Prakash.S.Bagga [/QUOTE]
