Studies on Panini's grammar - DWC

The methods and mannerisms of composition in Päf.lini' s A~tädhyäyi 63
Grammatikern nicht als besondere Kategorie anerkannt, aber in allen
Perioden des Altindischen belegt'. We may, however, consider these
compounds to be closely related to Wackernagel' s class Ba (Päf.lini' s krtcompounds
of the 3rd adhyäya). although differing from them in the order
of the members (cf. Hirt, Idg. Gramm. V p. 394 § 238). For instance
compounds such as jahi-stamb (h) a- or ÛQXfXllXO~ could be described as
tatpurw~as with reversed order.
With these notes I hope to defend Päf.lini's conception in its historical
value, but it is far from my intention to depreciate the researches by
Von Schroeder and Jacobi on the historical origin and development of the
compounds.
§ 85. A n a I y sis 0 f ad h y. 2 P ä. 3.
Sû. I-fin. Syntax of the noun-cases (§ 23 sqq.). The section has the
character of a closed and independent discussion.
§ 86. Analysis of adhy. 2 pä. 4.
2, 4, 1-31. Grammatical number and gender of compounds. Sû. 1-16,
rules on the singular number of [samähara-]dvigus (SP. 2, I, 51ï, § 33
note I) and dvandvas; sû. 17-31, rules on the gender of compounds; the
Käsikä explains sa in su. 17 as rderring both to the samähara-dvigus and
the singularised dvandvas; su. 18. avyayibhävas taken as neuter for
morphological reasons, see SP. I, 2, 47; su. 19-25, cases enumerated in
which a second, feminine noun becomes neuter, (compounds expressing a
collectivity); su. 26-31, the gender of [dual or plural ] dvandvas and
tatpuru~as . Since Päf.lini gives no rules for the gender of nouns, the section
should be considered to be an appendix to adhy. 2 pä. 1 and 2; for the rest
it has the character of a closed and independent discussion.
2, 4, 32-34. Substitution (adda) of stems. Enclitic sterns of the
demonstrative pronouns.
2, 4, 35-57. Root-substitution or heteroclitic conjugation.
2, 4. 58-85. Various subjects under the common heading luk: su.
58-70, rules on patronymics, dynasty-names etc.; su. 71. loss of caseen
ding a. before denominative root-suffix and {J. in a pratipadika (esp. in
the first member of a compound); sû. 72-81, the derivation of the
thema tic present, of different aorist-forms, and the periphrastic perfect;
sû. 82-84, the format ion of indeclinables; su. 85, the periphrastic future.
Strictly speaking the sutras 83 sqq. treat of ädesa, and no longer of luk.
Although in appearance the pada only deals with vyakti and vacana of
samäsa, ädda of stem and root; and luk, it really contains the discussion of
very many various subjects, being in this respect parallel to adhy. 1 pä. 4.
