Swara is associated with ‘voice’ or ‘musical note’, from Sanskrit and Hindi svara. Wiktionary records sound, voice and musical pitch, as well as a grammatical vowel. The name स्वरा adds a long final vowel to the dictionary noun स्वर. The sources therefore establish the underlying musical and linguistic meanings, while the ending belongs to the name form. These musical and grammatical senses give the word a place in both performance and the study of language.
