(anu, anu<h>1)
1 anu¦, indecl. in noun and verb cpds.; (a) in distrib- utive (? or intensive) noun cpds., as in Pali, CPD s.v. anu (g); also in JM, e.g. gāmāṇugāmaṃ Jacobi Erz. 13.2; rare in Skt., ‘typical in Buddh.’, Renou, Gr. scte. p. 94: divasānudivasaṃ, adv., day after day, Av i.208.10; 261.14; see kālānukālam, kṣudrānukṣudra, kṣudrakānukṣu- draka, anucāra, anudharma; but the usage is not al- ways clear and the last-named, at least, prob. does not belong here; (b) in verb cpds. used in many cases which have no parallels in Skt., nor (often) even in Pali or Pkt.; usually before other preverbs. See the following entries in this work. Very often it is hard to see any definite meaning which anu adds; Tib. in its wooden way renders by rjes su, after, which as Jäschke says ‘is often not to be translated’.
