Words meanings and morphology
प्रतुदाञ्जालपादांश्च (pratudāñjālapādāṁśca) - and those that peck seeds and have webbed feet
(noun)
Accusative, masculine, plural of pratudāñjālapāda
pratudāñjālapāda - one with webbed feet that pecks at seeds
Compound: pratuda (one that pecks, from pra+√tud) + añjāla (webbed) + pāda (foot). The ending 'a' of 'pratuda' undergoes sandhi with the initial vowel 'a' of 'añjāla', and the 'a' of 'pāda' combines with the plural accusative ending 'aḥ' and then 'aḥ+śca' becomes 'aṃśca'.
Compound type : tatpurusha (pratuda+añjāla+pāda)
- pratuda – one that pecks
noun (masculine)
from pra + √tud (to pierce, to peck).
Prefix: pra
Root: tud (class 4) - añjāla – webbed

Compound: ko (dog) + oṣṭi (lip/mouth/jaw, here implying canine teeth/mouth) + nakha (nail) + viṣkira (one that digs/scatters, from vi+√kṛ). The word 'koyoṣṭi' is unusual, possibly a variant or poetic usage. A more direct interpretation might be 'dog-like claws' or 'having canine-like nails' and 'one that scatters/digs'.
