Commentary
The words संघ and उद्घ are irregularly formed in the sense of 'a collection' and 'a praise' respectively.
These words are thus formed; सम् + हन् + अप् = सं + ह् + अ = सं + घ् + अ = सङ्घः। Thus सङ्घः पशूनाम् 'a herd of cattle'; so also उद्घो मनुष्यः 'an excellent man'. The word 'respectively' is inserted from 1.3.10. When not used in these senses, we have सङ्घातः 'union'.
