ii. Like Sanskrit samasa, the words to be joined must be first put in their Nominative
Singular forms before joining them. And like the Sanskrit tatpurusha samasa, the first
word qualifies the second word, but the last word stands for the compound word. e.g.
Heartache

Heart is the qualifier of the ache. Heart is the secondary word. Heart is the
adjective of the word ache.
ேநா
Ache is the primary word. Ache stands for the word
heartache. i.e. Ache represents the compound word and takes the gender and number
suffixes. Secondary word can easily be replaced with any other suitable noun or
adjective, like
தைல-ேநா
headache,
இைர
ட
-ேநா
stomachache, etc.
