On the subject of dvandvas, I might point out that English dvandvas are not
only confined to phrases with "conjunctions inserted", as Brendan Gillon
points out. English in fact possesses a literally infinite set of dvandvas in
the numerals:"twenty-four
twenty-five," etc. which in the Paninian system would be analyzed as "twenty
and four, twenty and five," etc., with the possibility of synthesizing the
phrases back to their original compound form. These are orthodox dvandvas.
