Contextual Uses

In grammatical texts, anubandha refers to a technical or indicatory letter

function such as substitution, accent, or augmentation. These letters 

do not appear in the fully formed word and are understood as markers

or guides. When something is described as anubadhya, it implies it is 

to be observed or used following these rules or in connection with
