N: What do you think of this: anu-dhamma: in accordance with dhamma. anu:
following.
Practice of the dhamma in accordance with the dhamma.

Now I did not answer your question what compound it is.
anudhamma tells us how to patipatti dhamma. Thus, anudhamma modifies dhamma
patipanno.
Perhaps it does not modify the bhikkhu who practises?
You said: tappurisa acts as a noun and a bahubbiihi as an adjective.
I would like to learn more about compounds. I do not know much.
I want to thank Ret. Perhaps this is the clue: <Hence a compound that
internally is a tappurisa (baby-face) could function as a bahubbihi in the
context of its sentence. The same goes for a kammadhaaraya (big-nose). It
makes perfect sense, for example, to speak of a bahubbiihi with the internal
structure of a tappurisa or a kammadhaaraya. >

It is complicated for me. I print this out to study it. Thanks.
Nina.
