Matup (मतुप्).—tad. affix मत् (mat) changed in some cases to वत् (vat) (cf मादुपधायाश्च मतोर्वोऽ यवादिभ्यः (mādupadhāyāśca matorvo' yavādibhyaḥ) P. VIII. 2.9), applied to any noun or substantive in the sense of 'who possesses that,' or 'which contains it,' or in the sense of possession as popularly expressed. The affix is called possessive affix also, and is very commonly found in use; e. g. गोमान्, वृक्षवान्, यवमान् (gomān, vṛkṣavān, yavamān), etc. cf. तदस्या-स्त्यस्मिन्निति मतुप् (tadasyā-styasminniti matup) P. V. 2.94. The very general sense of 'possession' is limited to certain kinds of possession by the Vārttikakāra in the following stanza; भूमनिन्दाप्रशंसासु नित्ययोगेतिशायने । संसर्गेऽस्तिविवक्षायां भवन्ति मतुबादयः (bhūmanindāpraśaṃsāsu nityayogetiśāyane | saṃsarge'stivivakṣāyāṃ bhavanti matubādayaḥ) cf. Kāś. on P. V. 2.94. There are other tad. affixes prescribed in the same sense as मतुप् (matup), such as the affixes लच् (lac) (V. 2.96-98), इलच् (ilac) (99, 100, 105, 117), श (śa) and न (na) (100), ण (ṇa) (101), विनि (vini) (102, 121, 122), इनि (ini) (102, 115, 116, 128, 129-137), अण् (aṇ) (103, 104), उरच् (urac) (106), र (ra) (107), म (ma) (108), व (va) (109, 110), ईरन् (īran) and ईरच् (īrac) (111), वलच् (valac) (112, 113), ठन् (ṭhan) (115, 116), ठञ् (ṭhañ) (118, 119), यप् (yap) (120), युस् (yus) (123, 138, 140), ग्मिनि (gmini) (124), आलच् (ālac) and आटच् (āṭac) (125), अच् (ac) (127), and ब, भ, यु, ति, तु, त (ba, bha, yu, ti, tu, ta) and यस् (yas) each one applied to specifically stated words. मतुप् (matup) is also specially prescribed after the words headed by रस (rasa) (cf. रसादिभ्यश्च (rasādibhyaśca) P. V. 2.95) in supersession of some of the other affixes mentioned above which would take place in such cases, if मतुप् (matup) were not prescribed by the rule रसा-दिभ्यश्च (rasā-dibhyaśca). The portion of the Aṣṭādhyāyī prescribing the possessive affixes is named मतुबधिकार (matubadhikāra) (P. V. 2.92 to 140).
