A bahuvrihi compound (from Sanskrit: , literally meaning "much rice" but denoting a rich man) is a type of compound in Sanskrit grammar, that denotes a referent by specifying a certain characteristic or quality the referent possesses. A bahuvrihi is exocentric, so that the compound is not a hyponym of its head. For instance, a sabretooth (smil-odon) is neither a sabre nor a tooth, but a feline with sabre-like teeth. * In Sanskrit bahuvrihis, the last constituent is a noun, more strictly, a nominal stem, while the whole compound is an adjective. In Vedic Sanskrit the accent is regularly on the first member (tatpurusha rja-pútra "a king's son", but bahuvrihi rjá-putra "having kings as sons", viz. rjá-putra-, m., "father of kings", rjá-putr-, f., "mother of kings"), with the exception of a number of non-nominal prefixes such as the privative a; the word bahuvrhí is itself likewise an exception to this rule. * In English bahuvrihis can be identified and the last constituent is usually a noun |
