Commentary
How the negative compound conveys 蝉惫补辫补诲腻谤迟丑补 (something belonging to its own constituents) or 补苍测补辫补诲腻谤迟丑补 (something belonging to an outside word) is now explained.
[Read verse 313 above]
[Before the formation of the compound, the negative particle in the sentence means negation and the word 产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 stands for something in which real 产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺tva is denied. Thus the two words stand for two different things. The compound, on the other hand, stands for one thing, namely, the meaning of the negative compound as qualified by that of the second constituent, whatever it may be. The second constituent does no more than specify the particular thing which is negated. All possible things are implied in the negation itself. Its meaning is, therefore, predominant and the compound conveys 蝉惫补辫补诲腻谤迟丑补.]
