upakumbhañcoparathyaṃ prādhānyena caturvidhaḥ /
uttarapadārthamukhyo dvandvaścobhayamukhyakaḥ /
pūrvārtheśo 'vyayībhāvo bahuvrīhiś ca vāhyagaḥ //
as in ‘upakumbham’ and ‘uparathyam’. In terms of primacy, [compound] is of four kinds:
the tatpuruṣa where the meaning of the subsequent member is principal; the dvandva where both are principal;
the avyayībhāva where the meaning of the first member dominates; and the bahuvrīhi which refers to an external meaning.
