    1. the 20th letter of the alphabet, 1st of the 2nd (or palatal) class of consonants, having the sound of ch in church .
    2. indeclinable and, both, also, moreover, as well as (Equivalent to τε, Latin que, placed like these particles as an enclitic after the word which it connects with what precedes; when used with a personal pronoun this must appear in its fuller accented form (exempli gratia, 'for example' त्/अव च म्/अम च [not ते च मे च], "both of thee and me"), when used after verbs the first of them is accented Pa1n2. 8-1, 58 feminine; it connects whole sentences as well as parts of sentences; in fg-veda the double च occurs more frequently than the single (exempli gratia, 'for example' अह्/अं च त्व्/अं च, "I and thou", viii, 62, 11); the double च may also be used somewhat redundantly in class. Sanskr2it Sanskrit (exempli gratia, 'for example' क्व हरिणकानां जीवितं चा*तिलोलं क्व च वज्र-साराः शरास् ते, "where is the frail existence, of fawns and where are thy adamantine arrows?" S3ak. i, 10); in later literature, however, the first च is more usually omitted (exempli gratia, 'for example' अहं त्वं च), and when more than two things are enumerated only one च is often found (exempli gratia, 'for example' तेजसा यशसा लक्ष्म्या स्थित्या च परया, "in glory, in fame, in beauty, and in high position" Nal. xii, 6); elsewhere, when more than two things are enumerated, च is placed after some and omitted after according to others (exempli gratia, 'for example' ऋण-दाता च वैद्यश् च श्रोत्रियो नदी, "the payer of a debt and a physician [and] a Bra1hman Brahman [and] a river" Hit. i, 4, 55); in Vedic or Veda and even in class. Sanskr2it Sanskrit [Mn. iii, 20; ix, 322 Hit.], when the double च would generally be used, the second may occasionally be omitted (exempli gratia, 'for example' इन्द्रश् च सोम, "both Indra इन्द्र [and thou] Soma सोम" fg-veda vii, 104, 25; दुर्भेद्यश् चा*शुसंधेयः, "both difficult to be divided [and] quickly united" Hit. i); with lexicographers च may imply a reference to certain other words which are not expressed (exempli gratia, 'for example' कमण्डलौ च करकः, "the word करक has the meaning" pitcher "and other meanings"); sometimes च is Equivalent to एव, even, indeed, certainly, just (exempli gratia, 'for example' सु-चिन्तितं चौ*षधं न नाम-मात्रेण करोत्य् अरोगम्, "even a well-devised remedy does not cure a disease by its mere name" Hit.; यावन्त एव ते तावांश्च सः, "as great as they [were] just so great was he" Ragh. xii, 45); occasionally च is disjunctive, "but", "on the contrary", "on the other hand", "yet", "nevertheless" (वरम् आद्यौ न चा*न्तिमः, "better the two first but not the last" Hit. Page380,2; शान्तम् इदम् आश्रम-पदं स्फुरति च बाहुः, "this hermitage is tranquil yet my arm throbs" S3ak. i, 15); च-च, though-yet Vikr. ii, 9; च-न च, though - yet not Pat.; च - न तु (varia lectio ननु) the same, Ma1lav. iv, 8; न च - च, though not - yet Pat.; च may be used for वा, "either", "or" (exempli gratia, 'for example' इह चा*मुत्र वा, "either here or hereafter" Mn. xii, 89; स्त्री वा पुमान् वा यच् चा*न्यत् सत्त्वम्, "either a woman or a man or any other being" R.), and when a negative particle is joined with च the two may then be translated by "neither", "nor"; occasionally one च or one न is omitted (exempli gratia, 'for example' न च परिभोक्तुं नै*व शक्नोमि हातुम्, "I am able neither to enjoy nor to abandon" S3ak. v, 18; न पूर्वा*ह्णे ना च परा*ह्णे, "neither in the forenoon nor in the afternoon"); च-च may express immediate connection between two acts or their simultaneous occurrence (exempli gratia, 'for example' मम च मुक्तं तमसा मनो मनसिजेन धनुषि शरश् च निवेशितः, "no sooner is my mind freed from darkness than a shaft is fixed on his bow by the heart-born god", vi, 8); च is sometimes Equivalent to चे*द्, "if" (confer, compare Pa1n2. 8-1, 30; the verb is accented) fg-veda AV. MBh. Vikr. ii, 20 Bhartr2. ii, 45; च may be used as an expletive (exempli gratia, 'for example' अन्यैश् च क्रतुभिश् च, "and with other sacrifices"); च is often joined to an adverb like एव, अपि, तथा, तथै*व, etc., either with or without a negative particle (exempli gratia, 'for example' वैरिणं नो*पसेवेत सहा*यं चैव वैरिणः, "one ought not to serve either an enemy or the ally of an enemy" Mn. iv, 133); (see एव, अपि, etc.) For the meaning of च after an interrogative see 2. क्/अ, 2. कथ्/आ, क्/इम्, क्व्/अ); ([confer, compare τε, Latin que, pe (in nempe etc.); Gothic uh; Zend ca; Old Persian ca1 .])
