That phrase is a choreographer's delight!

Even before I saw the above word highlighted, I started wondering about its
proper meaning. But before that, a word about the other word in the
quartet, "anuddESyamgA". Here I tried to choose between this word and
another, perhaps more proper, word - "anuddishTamgA". Having doubts as to
my choice of the word, I interjected Alice's comment in Wonderland.

Back to "anAlOcitamgA". Does this mean "without thought", or
"unthinkingly". One might say what's the difference! Well, sometimes we use
like-meaning words, and impart a shade of difference from the context.
There was a good example of such usage in a recent post by someone, but now
I can't remember who or what.

I think the first meaning implies lack of conscious thought, where there is
no need for such, while the latter implies the situation where thought is
needed, but not given. I am not presuming a homerun, but am I anywhere near
the ballpark! (Especially after the Orioles swept the Whitesox recently.
Inquiring but wondering minds do well to note the hometowns of both the
teams)

Some words that have a common (rUDhArthamu - anTArA deenni?) meaning, have
a quite different meaning in some situations. Nah, that's not what I was
going to say. Take "anumAnam", please. Not "apArtham", but the simple
"anumAnam". The common "telugu" meaning for this word is "suspicion". But
the "sanskrit" meaning is "estimation", like in "guess".
