Some more uses of lagnaa in the form of categories, for ease of learning.

I haven?t read all that Bakshink has (comprehensively) presented as I had already
prepared this so there may be some duplication.
Also, as some people can?t read Hindi and others can?t read Urdu, I decided to give
everything in romanised form.
