Compounds with - and - are especially frequent in Veda and Brāhmaṇa; as independent words, nouns, these are accented and. In many cases, the words are not found in independent use. Combinations with prefixes do not occur in sufficient numbers to establish a distinct rule, but they appear to be oftenest accented on the suffix (1155 f).

b. From √ are made in composition - and -, with accent on the ending: thus, ; - from √, (1155 g) has the accent in its numerous compounds: thus,.

The derivatives in are of infrequent occurrence in composition (as in combination with prefixes: above, 1151 k), and appear to be treated as ordinary nouns: thus,  (but, AV.).

1279. In this division of the class of determinatives, the prior member stands to the other in no distinct case-relation, but qualifies it adjectively or adverbially, according as it (the final member) is noun or adjective.

a. Examples are: blue lotus,  all good quality,  dear friend,  great-sage,  silver cup;  unknown,  well done,  ill-doing,  much praised,  renewed.
