Linguist Rishi Rajpopat solves an ancient puzzle, showing that PÄṇini’s Sanskrit grammar is self-sufficient. Centuries of commentators, having misunderstood it, created tools to overcome its supposed flaws, but to no avail. By reinterpreting some key PÄṇinian rules, Rajpopat shows that the language machine is in fact entirely free of such glitches.
