Suan is welcome to add more to this if he wishes.

I think the simplest approach is to build on the four main types I
mentioned earlier. The digu and kammadhaaraya are considered to be
pa.thama-tappurisas (1st tp). The kammadhaaraya is divided again into
9 subtypes in the Saddaniiti. I think digu compounds (eg. tiloka.m,
tipi.taka.m) are probably the easiest to identify while bahubbiihis
are the most difficult. There is a special chapter on compounds in
Kaccayana as is also the case with the Saddaniiti and other grammars.
It's a subject that I still have a great deal more to learn about. As
I slowly work through the grammar, I'll do my best to analyse the
compounds met with along the way. There will be another one
(tilokamahita.m) coming up soon which we briefly touched on last
month.

I would like to correct what I quoted earlier from Sadd p.752 on
'abhidhammo' as a kammadhaaraya compound. "atireko adhiko vaa
abhidhammo" should read "atireko adhiko vaa dhammo abhidhammo". I had
left out an important word in the explanation.

Thank you for quoting the passage. Now I know where to look.
