As we have seen that in संस्कृत, लिङ्ग (gender) is the attribute of प्रातिपदिकऽ and not of the entity that it is referring to. To indicate feminine gender of the entity referred by the प्रातिपदिक, प्रत्ययऽ called स्त्री-प्रत्ययऽ are added to the प्रातिपदिक. Also, if a प्रातिपदिक has gender of type विशेष्यनिघ्न, then when this प्रातिपदिक becomes विशेषण for a स्त्री-लिङ्ग-प्रातिपदिक, स्त्री-प्रत्ययऽ are added.
