Commentary

The affix घिनुण् comes after the verbs 1. लप् 2. सृ 3. द्रु 4. मथ 5. वद् 6. वस् when compounded with the preposition वि।
As प्रलापी 'prattling'; प्रसारी 'extending around'; प्रद्रावी 'running away, fugitive'; प्रमाथी 'tormenting'; प्रवादी 'reporting'; प्रवासी 'a traveller'.

The root वस् here is the Bhvadi वस् meaning 'to dwell' and is not Adadi meaning 'to cover', because in the latter the vikarana is elided.
