The Typology of āmre ita Compounds in the gveda

āmre ita compounds in the gveda are considered to be a type of coordinative nominal constructions, closely related to dvandva compounds. This article investigates āmre ita compounds against the background of other coordinative nominal constructions from gveda 1.1–1.50 which were analysed and compared with their parallel attestations in other ma alas of the gveda. The first fifty hymns of the gveda form an organic whole: they belong to the middle period in the gvedic chronology and address a rich variety of deities, providing a substantial amount of material to address the typological problems of āmre ita compounds. The article overviews the problems related to the typology of āmre ita compounds, their analysis in the gvedapadapā ha and the A ādhyāyī, examines all āmre ita compounds attested in gveda 1.1–1.50 and compares them with dvandva compounds, noting their interrelations, similarities and differences and consequently, identifies some of their typological features.
