A word denoting the object of comparison gets the acute accent (udātta) on the first syllable when the second member is a word ending in the affix aka and the compound expresses a calling by which one gets his living.,
Thus द꣡न्तलेखकः, न꣡खलेखकः, अ꣡वस्करशोधकः, र꣡मणीयकारकः = दन्तलेखनादिभिर्येषां जीविका ॥ The compounding takes place by 2.2.17. Why do we say when meaning 'means of living'? Observe इक्षुभक्षिकां मे धारयसि ॥ All affixes which ultimately become अक by taking substitutes, are called अक affixes. Thus ण्वुल्, वुन् &c are अक affixes (VII. I. I). Why do we say \ending in the affix अक\?
Observe रमणीयकर्त्ता ॥ Here the compounding takes place by 2.2.17, and the affix तृच् is added in the sense of sport and not of livelihood.,
