[INDOLOGY] dvandva → bahuvrīhi?

[Dr. Dominik A. Haas, BA MA]

Dear colleagues,

I have a question: Can dvandvas become bahuvrīhis? Specifically, I’m 
looking at the compound /akṣamālāṅgulīyakaḥ/. Does it just mean “wearing 
an /akṣamālā /as a finger ring,” or could it also mean “wearing an 
/akṣamālā /and a finger ring”? I don’t recall ever seeing a 
dvandva-bahuvrīhi, but in this case it would make much more sense, which 
is why I wonder if this is perhaps a rare, non-standard form. Of course, 
it’s also possible that it’s just a misspelling of /akṣamālo ’ṅgulīyakaḥ/.

Thank you for your time and best regards,
Dominik A. Haas
