/Gyossup / ङ्योस्सुप्

/Gyossup is the seventh line in the svaujasamauTch... list, and it is made of three endings —

/Gi (singular) "in"
/os (dual) "in"
/sup' (plural) "in"

These three affixes mean "in", "at", "on" because of rule saptamyadhik....

Sometimes /sup' translates as "among" —

mRgeSu siMho balI मृगेषु सिंहो बली "among beasts, lion is strongest"

(In that sense, saying **mRgANAm मृगाणाम् is more common.)

Sometimes they translate as "about". They are invariably used to express the object of feelings —

biDAleSu snehaH बिडालेषु स्नेहः "affection for cats"

But not feelings of fear, whose object takes fifth —

vRkebhyo bhayam वृकेभ्यो भयम् "fear from wolves"

where **vRka- वृकॱ got /bhyas, from the fifth group /GasibhyAmbhyas, q.v.
