zeSo bahuvrIhiH

शेषो बहुव्रीहिः ONPANINI 22023

The other /samAsa are called /bahuvrIhi.

In other words, compounds not described in the earlier sUtras (/dvandva, /avyayIbhAva, /karmadhAraya...), must be /bahuvrIhi. Example

**citragus चित्रगुस् "that has variegated cows"

/pANini does not bother to explain how bahuvRIhi बहुवृईहिs work. But the idea is simple. Whatever has three heads can be called a threehead, including people, and whoever or whatever has coppery hairs can be called a copperyhair. This sort of has-compounds can be built on the spot with whatever nouns you like. Coulson illustrates the point with this sentence —

diSTyA jivitavastsA 'smi दिष्ट्या जिवितवस्त्सा ऽस्मि "thank god I am a livechild"

This is a perfectly natural way of saying "thank God my children are alive".
