________________
kakkoḍaya- (karkoṭaka-) and similar other forms might have led to the separation of the portion -oda- (-odaya-) as a suffixal element. Of course this could have been, if at all, only one of the formative factors.
:
Such a status acquired by -oda- and aided by the existence of -da- (Sk. -ta- ) as a closely allied suffix may have been the cause behind the creation of karka- (besides karkotaka-, karkaṭaka-), matka- (besides matkoṭaka-, matkuṇa.) and bakota- (besides baka-).
