The present joint contribution focuses on the karmadhāraya compound puruṣavyāghra, whose distinctive feature according to Aṣṭādhyāyī 2.1.56 is the fact that the syntactic head (i.e. vyāghra-) is the qualifier and the other constituent (i.e. puruṣa-) is the qualificand. By resorting to Moro’s Dynamic Antisymmetry Principle in a micro-comparative dimension (Sanskrit, Latin, English), while sticking to Pāṇini’s account of the way in which a compound is generated (included the operative criterion to individuate the non-head), we have advanced a new source-phrase for puruṣavyāghra, where this correspondence between non-head and qualificand is ensured.

Abstract

The present joint contribution focuses on the karmadhāraya compound puruṣavyāghra, whose distinctive feature according to Aṣṭādhyāyī 2.1.56 is the fact that the syntactic head (i.e. vyāghra-) is the qualifier and the other constituent (i.e. puruṣa-) is the qualificand. By resorting to Moro’s Dynamic Antisymmetry Principle in a micro-comparative dimension (Sanskrit, Latin, English), while sticking to Pāṇini’s account of the way in which a compound is generated (included the operative criterion to individuate the non-head), we have advanced a new source-phrase for puruṣavyāghra, where this correspondence between non-head and qualificand is ensured.
