उरःप्रभृतिभ्यः कप्

Adhyāya 5 · Pāda 4 · Rule 151

The affix kap comes after uras etc. final in a bahuvrīhi samāsa ,

Thus व्यूढोरस्कः = व्यूढमुरोऽस्य ॥ So also प्रियसर्पिष्कः, अवमुक्तोपानत्कः ॥

The words पुमान्, अनुड्वान्, पयः, नौः and लक्ष्मीः are exhibited in the list of urasadi words as nominative singular, and not in their crude-forms as is the case with other words. The reason of this is, that the singular number of these words take the affix कप्, and not their dual and plural numbers. With regard to the dual and plural of these, the affix कप् is optionally added by force of sutra 5.4.154. Thus द्विपुमान् or द्विपुंस्कः, बहुपुमान् or बहुपुंस्कः ॥

1 उरस्, 2 सर्पिस्, 3 उपानह्, 4 पुमान्, 5 अनड्वान्, 6 पयस्, 7 नौः, 8 लक्ष्मीः, 9 दधि, 10 मधु, 11 शालि, 12 अर्थान्नञः ॥ (The affix कप् is added to अर्थ when preceded by the Negative particle नञ्, as अनर्थकः),
