विपूय-विनीय-जित्या मुङ्ज-कल्क-हलिषु

Adhyāya 3 · Pāda 1 · Rule 117

When the words vipūya , vinīya and jityā are irregularly formed they mean 'the muñja grass', 'the sediment' and 'the plough', respectively.,

Thus वि + पू + क्यप् = विपूयः etymologically 'that which has to be purified to make rope'; वि + नी + क्यप् =विनीय 'a sediment or sin'; जि + क्यप् = जित्य 'a plough that which is to be conquered by strength'.

The regular derivatives are विपाव्यम्, विनेयम् and जेयम्.,
