In TatpurUSa or appositional compounds, the first member usually 
takes the form which the word adopts in the agent, the n of the agent 
of the 1st declension, being dropped. We may also say that the first 
member of the compound is put in the genitive, the post-position being 
dropped, and y being changed to i (iii. 5). 
Thus, fraki-khag, the cut of a knife ( grakh, fern.). 
37 topi-phal u , the border of a cap (3pT tup 1 , fern.). 
' sar a p a -hay a sutin , by the fear hay a , masc.) of a 
snake (^r^ sar a ph, masc.). 
^^rdz a -necivi putshy, for the son (**T^ necyuv®) of 
the king (TT^T raz a ). 
bat a -kore hand u , of the daughter ($f^ km®) of the 
's 
brahmana (^3 bat a ), 
^5T-^ son a -dab a an, bring the box (qnr dab a , masc.) of gold 
(^T*f son, masc.), i.e., the gold box. 
J mebsi-phot u thav, put down a basket (W?T phot * 
' i - 
masc.) (full) of earth ( myats u ). 
Irregular formations. 
1. When the word pon u , water, forms the second member of 
one of these compounds, it becomes 37^ wdn u (iii. 6). Thus,—

gin a -won u , snow-water.
