(c) Generally, only the subordinate noun is put in the
loc., and the ruling one in the obl., e.g. उदालकजीरै आश्रम
III 38 आपरै आश्रम
154 अबकै भव
II 24 कालै वरण
XII 6 $ 25. 2. Construction (a) The subordinate noun regularly precedes the
ruling one, e. g. मोटो रषेस्वर
I 17 देवतांरो मालरो राषणहार VIII 2 Now and then, however, it is postponed, especially in the case of a weighty adjective or of a participle, e.g.
पराई लुगाई कनै मांडांई जाय x9
लोही राधि महादुरगंध IX 29 (b) As a rule, the subordinate and the ruling noun succeed each other immediately. Examples see in 8 24.
Only sometimes they are separated by other parts of the sentence. Besides the two last examples given above, cp. IV 68 :
देह मांहिं सूं जीव नीसरीयो सो जमलोक गयो छै जीव 8 26. III. Parataxis of Nouns
__ 1. The strong nouns in i from solid Dvandva-compositions with a following coordinate noun, their i remaining uninflected, whereas the following noun is declined in the ordinary way, e.g. : पापी दुराचारीयांनै
X7 देवी देवतारी
XVII 16 etc. 2. The strong nouns in o and the weak nouns form looser compositions, in which the first part keeps its primary case-ending, and which are characterized as a sort of nominal compounds only by omitting the postposition of the first noun, e.g. : देवतां साधांनै
XI 25 सीयां मरतांनै
VII 44
