Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Dear list members, When I asked if compounds of the form xxx-kRt-yyyy were valid, I didn't mean kRt affixes in general but compounds of the form for example " vighna-kRt " .. vighna-kRt means "interfering" So can I say vighna-kRn-nara "an interfering man" . I ask the question because I've seen the note in Monier-Williams for - kRt - "only ifc. Pan. 6-1 182 " Many thanks, Harry Harry Spier 371 Brickman Rd.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 The form vighna-kRn-nara seems perfectly possible. Forms like pApa- kRt-tama and veda-vit-tama abound in the epics. While the forms with -tama are viewed as cases of affixation by Panini, the PrAtizAkhyas treat them as cases of compounding.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 I would also like to add that I have come across a high frequency of expressions like sUtra-kRn-mata "opinion of the author of the sUtra", vRtti-kRd-virodha "contradiction with the author of vRtti", bhASya- kRd-vacana "words of the author of the bhASya" in the grammatical literature. Longer compounds like bhASya-kRd-vacana-virodhApatti "undesirable possibility of contradicting the words of the author of the bhASya" are also common.
