"Having an abbreviated form." A grammatical term used in poetry manuals to refer to expressions or compound terms in which the grammatical connectives such as the sixth case {rnam dbye drug pa} are ommited for the sake of brevity and elegance. For example, {dpung pa 'khri shing}, the shoulder [which is like] a creeper [vine]. See complementary term {ma bsdus pa'i gzugs can}. [mss]
