རྐང་དུང་།

rkang dung:

Stephan Beyer provides rkang dung “ritual trumpet made from a human thighbone” as an example of a construction of a new word whose semantic content is different than the semantic contents of component source nouns rkang “foot, leg” and dung “conch shell.” See Beyer 1992: 101.
