@AryamanA, माधवपंडित: Hello. hi.wikipedia says this means (phonetic) assimilation as well. Is that correct? What would be the antonym? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 23:04, 23 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Per utramque cavernam: hi.wiki has a tendency for clever calques. It just means "union" or "harmony", but "assimilation" is, I suppose, a reasonable interpretation as well. सम्मेलन (sammelan) is basically the same thing. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 00:34, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@AryamanA: Thanks! Would there be a more standard term for "assimilation" then? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 01:11, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Per utramque cavernam: Not sure, at least in the phonetic sense. I think सम्मिलन (sammilan) is good, actually. Generally speaking though, if it is used in the sense of "assimilation", it is in the sense "assimilation of culture". संधि (sandhi) probably covers "assimilation". —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 01:20, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@AryamanA: All right, thanks for this. Getting close to the 10.000 lemmas, btw, congrats! --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 01:33, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Per utramque cavernam: Thanks! Still very far from complete :P —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 01:36, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
