Amrita
different words to express the same meaning while numerals, simple or complex, are used to separate different meanings. Two references are separated by a semicolon. Square brackets are used to give the etymology and cognates while parantheses are used to add words either in the quotations or in the explanations. Other punctuation marks are used as and when needed but a colon is avoided in Sanskrit texts as it is likely to be confused with a visarga. It is replaced by a short dash. All abbreviations are followed by a full-stop and only single quotation marks are employed, when needed.
