Show or hide information
(Nor need be taught} the rule relating to the dependence of the meaning of a word on the principal (pradhâna, in a compound) or on the affix (pratyaya), because the authority of the meaning (of a word, compound or derivative) consists in something else.
German Auch das, was über das Hauptglied im Compositum und über die Bedeutung der Suffixe gesagt wird, braucht nicht gelehrt zu werden, weil bei der Bedeutung etwas Anderes (der allgemeine Sprachgebrauch) das Maassgebende ist. (56)
