Dear Dominik,
compounds are rather a matter of syntax than grammar. Speyer, however,
has no example for a DD used as BV without prefix, possessive suffix
(-ka?), or an adjective or participle in first position. That makes the
DD interpretation suspicious, indeed.

Dear colleagues,
Thank you for your replies! It would make a lot if sense if
_akṣamālāṅgulīyakaḥ_ was a dvandva-bahuvrīhi. Neverthesss,
if I haven’t overlooked it, the possibility of dvandva-bahuvrīhis
is not mentioned in the grammars of Whitney, Müller, Macdonell (Vedic
& Sanskrit), Kale, Mayrhofer, or Gonda, nor do I find it in Tubb’s
and Boose’s book on scholastic Sanskrit. I would therefore be very
grateful if you could provide examples. (The examples from the
Bhagavad-Gītā beginning with _aneka _are karmadhāraya-bahuvrīhis.)
Thank you again,
D. Haas

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
