[INDOLOGY] Help with dī́divim

[McComas Taylor]

Dear colleagues,

I am hoping that you can help my students and me with ṚV 1.1.8.  There is a word describing Agni: dī́divim (MAcS of stem dī́divi), meaning 'shining'. We can see the root dī, which forms stems in both dīdī and dīdi. What part of speech is dī́divi and how it is formed?

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Yours sincerely,

McComas
