Thank you Mahipaliha, Jim, and Nina,

"A compound itself can contain compounds and we can take the process
further in breaking down those compounds as well."

How to parse and translate "embedded compounds" like this, useful,
haven't seen it in a Pali grammar. Is there something analogous in
Sanskrit?

Good to get this definition too:

Anuyoga [Sk. anuyoga, fr. anu + yuj] 1. application, devotion to (-- ¢ª),
execution, practice of (-- ¢ª); often combd. with anuyutta in phrase
¢ªanuyoga©¯ anuyutta = practising, e. g. Vin i.190 (maṇḍanɔ)

or

N: anuyoga: practice of, devotion to, indulgence in, repeated activity

------------------------------------------------------------
Digging deeper into the derivation of "anuyoga" or how to split the word
into its component parts seems to require some Sanskrit knowledge
since I can get the information given by you guys from dictionaries
available:

Anuyoga [Sk. anuyoga, fr. anu + yuj]

must be related to:

anuyoge = in the repeated activity (anu = repeated, repetitive, again
and again; yoga = activity, action).

yoga : [m.] connection; bond; endeavour; conjunction; attachment;
effort; mixture.

"yuj" must correspond to a root in Sanskrit
