I think I probably oppose the merger into Sanskrit compounds, although I'm not sure and also point out the possibility of merging into Compound (linguistics). The concept seems to apply beyond just sanskrit, even if the term is most commonly used for sanskrit. The assertion that it isn't in English dictionaries has a few counterexamples: Encarta and infoplease, giving English examples like bittersweet and push-pull.

I just came across this article while doing research for my exams and I found the term is used quite frequently for English compounds as well...I think it would be nice to include this fact in the article. I found it in Bubenik,Vit (2003). An Indroduction to the Study of Morphology on page 176. Just as an example... Bromatom ( talk) 17:09, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Does dvandva refer to words that can be connected by the word 'or' (instead of 'and'), often describing a range? Is there another term for these? For example, in Chinese, there's 多少 (duō shǎo, 'many few') meaning quantity, which is often used in phrases such as 'How much (does this cost)?' Also, in many Asian languages, combining 'two three' (Chinese, Japanese: 二三, Thai: สองสาม) together can mean 'two or three', or simply 'a few'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikky Horse ( talk • contribs) 20:46, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
The German article says that the first constituent is in its stem (compounding) form (except for kinship terms like mātā-pitarau), and examples like ācārya-śiṣyau seem to support this. Sihler (Language History) claims that the first constituent is in the dual as well. Which is correct? -- ἀνυπόδητος ( talk) 11:41, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to point out that the term dvandva is used elsewhere in wikipedia in a sense not discussed in this article. From the article Saguna Brahman:
> Rājarshi (2001: p. 45) conveys his estimation of the historical synthesis of the School of Yoga (one of the six Āstika schools of Hinduism) which he holds introduces the principle of "Isvara" as Saguna Brahman, to reconcile the extreme views of Vedanta's "advandva" and Sankya's "dvandva"
This article mostly deals with the term as it appears in linguistics, particularly Sanskrit linguistics and morphology. 71.163.107.151 ( talk) 05:13, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
