This ex- plication cannot be right, for it does not account for the inverse order of the two members; one should f. i. expect rat instead of as in the karmadharaya the qualifying noun is of course put first.

Sometimes it is a partitive one, as gaafti: = ganui (or gràg) fel, am an outcast among the kings," cp. the compounds in 34 (best) and u (worst, lowest). Sometimes, too, it is a genitive of the kind represented by our »a jewel of a woman," »a hell of a fellow," Lat. scelus hominis; so : (Mudr. III, p. 102) a beauty of a house," ¶ (Mudr. III, p. 121) v. a. »excellent helpers," hafany (P. 6, 2, 126) a alut of a wife." Not rarely both acceptations are alike probable; f. i. may be as well agg a jewel among my women" as - »a jewel of a woman." = Rem. 2.
