Sanskrit property labels

Why do your labels for some properties in Sanskrit sound like they are worded as questions? Mahir256 (talk) 18:52, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

An extraordinary property of sanskrit is that the word order does not matter (unlike hindI or English). So, "is part of" is adequate in English to express the directionality of a relationship (A is part of B). But in sanskrit, "अस्यैतद् भागः" is completely confusing as it could mean "A is part of B" or "B is part of A". On top of it, sanskrit is inflectional - so "is part of" just cannot be expressed without using the (inflected) words. Hence, "भागः कस्य?" makes the relationship crystal clear. I am open to alternative suggestions. Vishvas vasuki (talk) 20:27, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Help with Hindi labels

Greetings! Could you translate for me the following labels into Hindi?

English	Hindi	Sanskrit
Ancient Greek playwright (man who wrote plays in ancient Greece)	प्राचीन-यवन-नाटककार	प्राचीन-यवन-नाटककारः
tragedy by Aeschylus (tragic play written by Aeschylus (Q40939))	एस्चिलस् का दुःखान्तनाटक	एस्चिलस्य दुःखान्तनाटकम्

Thanks for any help you can provide. I can paste them in to all the data items where they apply, but I need help because I do not know Hindi. If you can provide Sanskrit translations as well, it would be appreciated. --EncycloPetey (talk) 22:11, 8 June 2019 (UTC)

Are you sure about the last two sets (the comedies)? Your word for "comedy" and word for "tragedy" look exactly the same to me. --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:41, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

Ah sorry - fixed now. Vishvas विश्वासः (talk) 01:56, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
