User:Svartava reports at Requests_for_deletion/Non-English that the case forms, , , , and  are so rare that they are not actually attested, with the implication that they are not actually attested, with the implication that they therefore do not qualify for inclusion. This therefore serves as a common request for verification for these forms. There is, on the other hand, an argument that bots may add undoubted case forms based on inflected lemmas. --RichardW57m (talk) 08:57, 4 August 2021 (UTC)


 * sanskrit.nic.in (Central Sanskrit University) uses राज्ञ्यौ in the nominative dual sense: वैदिक-ऐतिह्यानुसारं मनु:, शतरूपा चेति प्रथमौ राज-राज्ञ्यौ। "According to Vedic history, Manu and Shatarupa were the first king and queen" (literal translation by me; source : http://www.sanskrit.nic.in/ASSP/bharatvaibhavam/6frame3.htm).

Wordsense.eu also says this form exists, though I'm not quite certain about its veracity : https://www.wordsense.eu/%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%9C%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%9E%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8C/

 * Do we have any concessions allowing dictionaries as evidence of the existence of a Sanskrit word? It is quite likely that that dictionary has just copied Wiktionary. --RichardW57m (talk) 12:54, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * @RichardW57m I don't know. That's why I've kept it as a secondary source. My primary argument for keeping राज्ञ्यौ is the essay by Central Sanskrit University.
