Secondary Derivatives as Commented Units

• 1. When a secondary derivative is commented ---

a. with a primary derivative which has the verbal suffixal case, especially with those having the suffix ana OR, b. with its secondary stem compounded with bhāva, or, ākāra, the abstract derivative type is usually indicated. Ex. dāyakatāti dānaṃ / dāyakabhāvo / dāyakakāro

• 2. If a secondary derivative is commented using words having the sense of similarity or comparison, such as sarikkhaka, sadisa, sama, viya, iva, etc., the comparative type is usually indicated.

Ex. sīhoti sīhasadiso / sīhena samo / sīho viya

• 3. The Secondary Derivatives of possessive type and the other three of the miscellaneous type --- origination (bhava), birth (jāta), and attachment (niyutta) --- are viewed as equivalents. Accordingly, an indication of anyone of them implies others.

Ex. rājagahaṃ assa atthi (rājagahe bhavo, rājagahe jato, rājagahe niyutto) iti rājagahako.
