Dear Bryan and Dieter,
I have been puzzling and was hoping Bryan would answer.
Dieter: <["chandaraagavinayakkhaayii kho no, aavuso, satthaa"]

Our teacher teaches the subduing of passion and desire."

--------
N: Tappurisaa: the whole compound functions as a noun and any case
relation may occur within it. As Bryan said: accusative and genitive.
-------

> B:For words ending in -in, see Geiger section 95 and Warder, page 122.

------
N: suffix -in: possessive adjectives. sa~n~nii: having perception.
Instead of subduing we can also say: destruction or discipline.

Nina.
