 In an "aluk-samāsa", case endings do not vanish, e.g., "ātmane" + "padam" = "ātmanepadam".A compound consisting of the same word repeated, but with the first occurrence being accented.Amreditas are used to express repetitiveness; for example, from "dív" ("day") we obtain "divé-dive" ("day after day", "daily") and from "devá" ("god") we obtain "" or "devó-devas" ("god after god").
