Set root)
The terms set and anit refer to classes of roots in Sanskrit grammar. In the terminology of Panini, seṭ (from sa-iṭ, Aṣṭādhyāyī 1.2.18, 6.4.121)) means "with (see copulative a) an i-sound), and an-iṭ (Aṣṭādhyāyī 3.1.45, 6.1.188, 6.4.51, 7.2.61) means "without (see privative a) an i-sound". The i sound in question is a phoneme i that appears in certain morphological circumstances for certain, lexically defined roots, regularly continuing PIE Laryngeals.
