BAHUVRIHI
20
Definition
Pronunciation: //bahuːˈvɹiːhi//
noun
- (grammar, also attributive) A type of nominal compound in which the first part modifies the second but neither part alone conveys the intended meaning."Considerable discrepancies prevail with regard to the word मूचिीः which the Calcutta edition and all the authorities except the Bombay copy and No. VI. read without the visarga. It has subsequently been inserted in Mr. [Charles] Wilkins' ms., and is clearly required by the sense, as तोजोमूचिीः is a bahuvrihi or compound epithet."
