The bahuvrīhi Compound Between Zeroing and Contrastive Accentuation: Vedic Sanskrit Model and Pāṇini’s Model

This article aims to explore how Pāṇini’s model of the bahuvrīhi compound may be diachronically correlated to the bahuvrīhi compound as attested in the Vedic Sanskrit language, thus accounting for the two Pāṇinian requisites: zero-ending for all the constituents and accentuation on the first consti...
