Prof Sahib Singh's steek on Guru Gobind Singh's Jaap Sahib is extremely helpful "another delicious aspect (ਸੁਆਦਲੀ ਗਲ) is Satguru didn't use the ligature of alif-laam only for Persian words, he used it to join Sanskrit words, and in mixed Sanskrit and Persian compounds" ![[jaap.jpeg]] So far I've found these two commentaries to be the best resources on Jaap Sahib Sahib Singh's commentary - [https://archive.org/details/JaapSahibSteek-ProfSahibSingh/page/n29/mode/2up?view=theater…](https://t.co/92iRLFGsn1) Chakar Chandrika by Kartar Singh Nirmala - [https://archive.org/details/jaap_sahib/mode/2up?view=theater…](https://t.co/zpGn2pHNsQ) ^ This commentary is a beast, 546 pages of detailed explanations and examples.
