Su -- 2 (indecl.) [Vedic su˚, cp. Gr. eu) -- ] a particle, combd with adj., nouns, and certain verb forms, to
express the notion of "well, happily, thorough" (cp. E. well -- bred, wel -- come, wel -- fare); opp. du˚. It
often acts as simple intensive prefix (cp. sa'˚) in the sense of "very," and is thus also combd with concepts
which in themselves denote a deficiency or bad quality (cp. su -- p!pika "very wicked") and the prefix du˚
(e. g. su -- duj -- jaya, su -- duddasa, su -- dub -- bala). -- Our usual practice is to register words with su˚
under the simple word, whenever the character of the composition is evident at first sight (cp. du˚). For
convenience of the student however we give in the foll. a few compns as illustrating the use of su˚. -- ka&a
