TOC right The tone accent of VedicSanskrit , or Vedic accent for brevity, is traditionally divided by Sanskrit grammar ians into three qualities, ud tta raised acute accent , middle tone , anud tta not raised grave accent , lower tone and svarita sounded circumflex , higher tone . The accents Ud tta marks the place of the inherited Proto Indo European accent PIE accent . In transliteration, therefore, ud tta is usually marked with an acute accent , and anud tta and svarita are unmarked since their positions follow automatically from the position of ud tta. For example, in the first pada of the Rigveda , the transliteration IAST agn m e pur hita Agni I praise, the purohita high priest . means that the eight syllables have an intonation of A U S A A U S A where A anud tta, U ud tta, S svarita , or iconically, tt tt IAST e is a finite verb and thus has no ud tta, but its first syllable is svarita because the previous syllable is ud tta. Vedic meter is independent of Vedic accent and exclusively determined by syllable weight, so that metrically, the pada reads as tt . . .x tt viz., the second half pada is Iamb foot iambic . In some cases an accented syllable disappeared due to linguistic changes in Speech oral transmission of the samhita before it was written down, so that a svarita may be next after an anud tta this is a so called independent svarita . In such cases, the svarita syllable is marked in transcription with a grave accent .

SS Vedic was an ocean liner from the White Star Line , built in 1918. She was upon completion requisitioned as a troopship in World War I World War One , for which she was extensively refitted. After the War, in 1920, Vedic saw passenger service as intended. She was once again refitted as an ocean liner, and immediately after traveled the Canada to Liverpool immigrant route. She took the Liverpool to Australia route in 1925. In 1934, the White Star Line merged with its chief rival, Cunard Line , forming Cunard White Star, Ltd. The newly formed company decided that the vessel was too old, and needed to be retired from service. She was one of the first ships that Cunard White Star sent to the breakers yard. She had undergone two refits in her career.
