It-letter finder अनुबन्धः
Type or pick an upadeśa (a root, affix or augment as Pāṇini teaches it). Sūtras 1.3.2–1.3.8 decide which of its letters are it-markers (anubandhas), and deletes them. See which rule marks each one, and why the others do not.
Devanagari, IAST or SLP1. Mark a nasal vowel with ँ (SLP1 ~): Pāṇini's tradition writes तुमुन् but pronounces it तुमुँन्.
e.g. ण्वुल्, शप्, क्त्वा
ण् it ·
व् sound
उ sound
ल् it ·
वु after 1.3.9
