2) Wrongly used.

3) Not usual, strange, as a word, although it may be grammatically correct; e. g. in the Vārtt. to Pāṇ.: astyaprayuktaḥ; Patanjali: santi vai śabdā aprayuktāḥ . tadyathā . ūṣa tera cakra peceti (comp. s. v. aprayoga) . kimato yatsantyaprayuktāḥ . prayogāddhi bhavāñchabdānāṃ sādhutvamadhyavasyati . ya idānīmaprayuktā nāmī sādhavaḥ syuḥ . idaṃ vipratiṣiddham . yaducyate santi vai śabdā aprayuktā iti yadi santi nāprayuktāḥ . athāprayuktā na santi . santi cāprayuktāśceti vipratiṣiddham &c. (Compare aprayoga.) According to the Kāvyaprak., being aprayukta is one of the seventeen, accord. to the Sāhityad., one of the thirteen defects of a word (see padadoṣa), which must be avoided in composition; e. g. in the sentence: yathāyaṃ dāruṇācāraḥ sarvadaiva vibhāvyate . tathā manye daivato’sya piśāco rākṣasotha vā, or in the sentence: bhāti padmaḥ sarovare, the masc. forms daivataḥ and padmaḥ are aprayukta; or as the Kāvyapr. says, although the masc. of daivata is grammatically correct, no body uses the word in this gender: atra daivataśabdo daivatāni puṃsi veti puṃsyāmnātopi na kenacitprayujyate. E. a neg. and prayukta.
