Elaboration According to the commentator (Churni) taddhit is defined as the source of meaning or the letter, sign or word representing a specific meaning called taddhit. Grammatically it is an affix imparting specific meaning to a word. The kridant (primary) affixes give meaning to verbal roots and the taddhit (nominal) affixes give meaning to words.
