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
