Commentary

The words 1. ज्योत्स्न 2. तमिस्रा 3. शृङ्गिण 4. ऊर्जस्विन् 5. ऊर्जस्वल 6. गोमिन् 7. मलिन and 8. मलीमस are irregularly formed in the sense of मतुप् and are Names.
They are thus formed. ज्योतिष् + न = ज्योत्स्ना 'moon-light' (the इ being elided). तमस् + र = तमिस्रा 'night'. (इ being added ): it has other genders than feminine as तमिस्रं नभः 'dark sky'. शृङ्ग + इमच् = शृङ्गिणः ॥ The augment असुक् is added to ऊर्ज्, and then the affix विनि and वलच्; as ऊर्ज् + अस् + विन् = ऊर्ज्स्विन्; ऊर्ज्स्वलः ॥ गो + मिनि = गोमिन्; मल + इनच् = मलिनः; मल + ईमसच् = मलीमसः ॥
