Commentary
[If bare femininity (蝉补峁僺迟测腻苍补) is the meaning of the suffix, the dual and the plural endings in words like kum膩ryau, kum膩rya岣� cannot be explained, because femininity is one and the singular number would do. Nor can one explain the presence of two feminine suffixes in words like 驳腻谤驳测腻测补峁嚹�, 办腻谤墨峁驳补苍诲丑测腻 and 办腻濒颈迟补谤腻. In 驳腻谤驳测腻测补峁嚹�, there is 峁丑补 first by P. 4.1.17 and then 峁吥玴 by P. 4.1.41; in 办腻谤墨峁驳补苍诲丑测腻, there is first 峁补峁� after 办补谤墨峁驳补苍诲丑颈岣� by P. 4.1.78 and then 肠腻辫 by P. 4.1.74.; in 办腻濒颈迟补谤腻, there is first 峁吥梗 after 办腻濒补 by P. 4.1.42 and to the word 办腻濒墨 thus formed, tarap is added in the sense of higher degree and after tarap come 峁乸 by P. 4.1.4.]
