Alomst all the facts about “Samaas” are summarised in the book “Samaasa-chakram”. I had made mention of it in my post of July 10th 2009, 10:55am.
Quoting below some scripting from that book
अथ समासचक्रं प्रारभ्यते ।
षोढाः समासाः संक्षेपात् अष्टाविंशतिधा स्मृताः ।
नित्यानित्यत्वयोगेन लुगलुक्त्वेन च द्विधा ॥
तत्राष्टधा तत्पुरुषः सप्तधा कर्मधारयः ।
सप्तधा च बहुव्रीहिर्द्विगुराभाषितो द्विधा ॥
चकारबहुलो द्वंद्वः स चासौ कर्मधारयः ।
यस्य येषां बहुव्रीहिः शेषस्तत्पुरुषः स्मृतः ॥
अथ समासविधिः कथ्यते ।
समासाः षड्-विधाः । तत्पुरुषः कर्मधारयः बहुव्रीहिर्द्विगुर्द्वंद्वः अव्ययीभावश्चेति भेदात् ।
पूर्वपदार्थप्रधानोऽव्ययीभावः ।
उत्तरपदार्थप्रधानस्तत्पुरुषः ।
उभयपदार्थप्रधानो द्वन्द्वः ।
अन्यपदार्थप्रधानो बहुव्रीहिः ।
द्विगुकर्मधारयौ तत्पुरुषभेदौ ।
समासार्थबोधकं वाक्यं विग्रह इति ।
Some typical examples of the main types of “Samaas” are compiled in the following verse.
वृक्षशाखा तत्पुरुषः श्वेताश्वः कर्मधारयः ।
रक्तवस्त्रो बहुव्रीहिः द्वंद्वश्चन्द्रदिवाकरौ ॥
तत्राष्टधा तत्पुरुषक्रमः ।
प्रथमातत्पुरुषो द्वितीयातत्पुरुषस्तृतीयातत्पुरुषश्चतुर्थीतत्पुरुषः ।
पंचमीतत्पुरुषः षष्ठीतत्पुरुषः सप्तमीतत्पुरुषो नञ्-तत्पुरुषश्चेति ॥
Various examples of all these types of Tat-purush are given. I have not scripted them.
अथ कर्मधारयः कथ्यते ।
स च विशेष्यपूर्वपदो विशेषणपूर्वपदो विशेषणोभयपदः उपमानपूर्वपदः ।
उपमानोत्तरपदः संभावनापूर्वपदोऽवधारणापूर्वपदश्चेति-भेदात् सप्तविधः॥
The examples of different types of Karma-dhaaray do recognise the “Madhyama-pada-lopee” type also. I had raised a query on this, in my post of 9th July. The examples given are –
मध्यमपदलोपी समासः यथा शाकप्रियः पार्थिवः = शाकपार्थिवः । देवपूजकः ब्राम्हणः = देवब्राम्हणः ।
अथ बहुव्रीहिः कथ्यते ।
स च द्विपदो बहुपदः सहपूर्वपदः संख्योभयपदो व्यतिहारलक्षणो दिगन्तराललक्षणश्चेति भेदात् सप्तविधः ।
अथ द्विगुः ।
द्विगुसमासः द्विविधःलृ एकवद्-भावी अनेकवद्-भावी चेति ।
अथ द्वंद्वः ।
द्वंद्वोऽपि द्विविधः इतरेतरसमाहारभेदात् ।
अथ अव्ययीभावः ।
सः यथा – तटं तटं प्रति = अनुतटम् ।
क्रमं अनतिक्रम्य वर्तते इति यथाक्रमम् ।
वेलायामिति अधिवेलम् ।
कुंभस्य समीपे वर्तते इति उपकुंभम् ।
मक्षिकाणां अभावः निर्मक्षिकम् ।
हिमस्य अत्ययः अतिहिमम् ।
Apart from the classification of Samaas’s as above, there is also another two-fold classification as Luk and Aluk, based on the structure of the compounding. In “Luk” samaas, the first part stays in its original form of the root word. In Aluk samaas, the first part stays in its declined form.
अथ लुक्-समासो अलुक्-समासश्च ।
लुक्-समासो यथा तनुरेव लता = तनुलता ।
कृष्णा एव मेघाः कृष्णमेघाः ।
अलुक्-समासो यथा वने चरति इति वनेचराः ।
पंके रुहतीति पंकेरुहम् ।
Derivation of some adjectives sounds similar to deciphering a samaas. I would think hat such words should be teated as derived adjectives and not as samaas. Two typical examples given are –
मत्वर्थीयो यथा बुद्धिरस्यास्तीति बुद्धिमान् ।
धनमस्यास्तीति धनवान् ।
As mentioned in my post of 10th July, 10:25am, a single word such as “बाह्योद्यानस्थितहरशिरश्चन्द्रिकाधौतहर्म्या” can contain a number of samaas’s. There is no binding that one compounded word should have samaas of only one type.

I have just replied in Sanskrit. I they have in mind that since it is an epithet of Dharmaraja, it is a nityasamasa, obligatory one. Now the compound aluk- will also be of this type of Nitya-samAsa, which do not carry vigraha-vAkya with the words with which the samAsa is formed. just like in avyayIbhAva. So the explanation only can be given as युद्धे स्थिरः giving the meaning of the words, but not splitting of the words as it would cease to be an epithet of DharmarAja in that case. It is a commonly observed rule that the vigraha-vAkya and samAsa-vAkya should denote the same thing, whether adjective or substantive noun. But for epithets, will cease to be epithets when you split into paraphrases with the same words. yudhi sthiraH may mean any man steady in battle, but not DharmarAja. and yudhiShThira will be used for DharmarAja only and not for any other man steady in battle.
And it will be aluk compound only when it is used as an epithet of DharmarAja and not in other cases it will be used as such as I have already explained.
This seems to be their justifiable logical solution. applicable to the spltting of the compound by Mr.Abhyankar too.
Any more comments on this are welcome.

And also note that “aluk” is not the name of any “samAsa” like तत्पुरुष, कर्मधारय, बहुव्रीहि, द्वन्द्व, द्विगु which are well defined. “aluk” is just an operation of the loss of case endings of a word in a compound is not effected when the word is followed by certain words under certain conditions. So here, it is before the word “sthira” the locative case is not lost, when it is used to denote Dharmaraja, as an epithet of him (संज्ञा). Otherwise, there may not be any compound too, as yutsthira or the like. So your naming of the compound as “aluk” is also wrong. And dvitIyA tatpuruSha, tRtIyA tatpuruSha etc. names indicating the function, like “aluk” and not necessarily the part of the name of the compound. The name of the compound is only tatpuruSha. And there is no prathamA tatpuruSha, in which case there will be only bahuvrIhi or karmadhAraya.
The classification in samAsa-cakra is given for understanding the function of the compounds and not used as the names given to them in the strictest sense.

संस्कृतम् is not a samAsa. Its grammatical explanation can be detailed as –>
“सम् + कृ” ८ उ. (= to refine) इति धातुः । तस्मात् भूतकालवाचकं विशेषणम् “संस्कृत” (= refined) । प्रायः नपुंसकलिङ्गि विशेषनाम (= name of the language संस्कृत) अपि ।
Translation of the grammatical explanation would be –
संस्कृतम् is past passive adjectival participle derived from the verb “सम् + कृ” which means “to refine”. Although by its derivation it is an adjectival participle, in popular usage, it is used as a neuter proper noun and means “name of the language संस्कृत”
For anything to emerge as “refined” there has to be something which is raw or unrefined. For example one gets aluminum by refining the bauxite ore.
Languages in colloquial usage are often unrefined. Sanskrit must have emerged from refinement of one or more languages prevalent in colloquial usage. It is however difficult to say whether Sanskrit was a refined language right from its origin or whether it emerged from refinement of one or more languages prevalent in colloquial usage.
One popular quote says संस्कृतम् नाम दैवी वाक् अनुख्याता महर्षिभिः । This means “संस्कृतम् is a celestial language inherited by the sages”. If it is a celestial language, it would be faultless and refined right from its origin.

======================Answer
I could not follow either your English words nor Sanskrit words. “dharmraj”
“loph” “alurk” “upapad” “tatpurush” “karmadhrya”
I would call it “tatpuruSha” or “tatpuruṣa” “karmadhāraya” “upapada” “dharmarāja” as Sanskrit words.
Please read my post once again and try to understand what I wanted you to know. I just tried to make you know why they have said you are wrong and what is the position in Grammar. You are again making a fuss again, with your fragmentary Sanglish language to add to the complications you are already having. Please clearly post your questions directly.
The simple answer to your question is yes. The name of compound can be tatpuruṣa. and nothing more or less. If you have any questions, ask directly without beating around the bush. I have already replied Mr. Abhyankar in detail to his query.

अलुक् and लुक् are two different modes of joining words, when forming सामासिक-शब्दः
When we speak of ‘types’ of समास such as तत्पुरुषः, बहुव्रीहिः etc. we are exploring or deciphering the relationship between the words (or पद-s) which are joined together. This deciphering is called as विग्रहः
Interestingly, in उपपद-तत्पुरुष type one of the पद-s may not even be a word. It could only be a prefix or suffix. For example in आमरण the two पद-s are आ and मरण.
When deciphering a बहुव्रीहि type, the meaning hints to an entity which is other than the literal meanings of the पद-s. For example, रक्तवस्त्रः = रक्तं वस्त्रं यस्य सः One who wears a red cloth is a different entity, different from रक्त the red color or from वस्त्र the cloth.
Hope, this helps.

==========================
I am afraid it is not interesting. It is अव्ययीभाव compound accoding to the Panini’s rule: आङ्मर्यादाभिविध्योः।।२,१.१३)
and it is optional to form the अव्ययीभाव compound. The sentence with आ(ङ्) as explained by the commentary.
आङित्येतन् मर्यादायाम् अभिविधौ च वर्तमानम् पञ्चम्यन्तेन सह विभाषा समस्यते, अव्ययीभावश्च समासो भवति। आपाटलिपुत्रं वृष्टो देवः, आ पाटलिपुत्रात्। अभिविधौ आकुमारं यशः पाणिनेः, आ कुमारेभ्यः।
The two meanings up to and inclusive are conveyed by the अव्यय “आ(ङ्)” The विग्रहवाक्य will be up to पाटलिपुत्र – पाटालीपुत्रम् अवधीकृत्य (the rain fall was up to it and not in पाटलिपुत्र) and in the second अभिविधि, it rained inclusive of पाटलीपुत्र. पाटलीपुत्रम् अभिव्याप्य. In the case of absence अव्ययीभाव, the use of this अव्यय takes पञ्चमी case ending with the word in proximity with it as the alternative sentences demonstarate: आ पाटलिपुत्रात्, आ कुमारेभ्यः
This is the case of आ मरण also in the usages like:
“आमरणान्ताः प्रणयाः कोपास्तत्क्षणभङ्गुराः।”
उपपद-तत्पुरुष
उपपद- is the one type of proximate words designated as उपपद समास separately formed under rule of Panini उपपदम्-अतिङ् ।।२,२.१९।। under the designation of तत्पुरुष.
The words designated as उपपद under the rule of तत्र+उपपदं सप्तमीस्थम्।।३,१.९२।।
“गतिकारकेतरोपपदानां कृद्भिः सह समासवचनं प्राक् सुबुत्पत्तेः” designs the nature of this type of compounds taking place between these उपपद-s and the participles of the verbs like कुम्भ-कारः। नगर-कारः etc. and it is नित्य समास. Hence, the वृत्ति will be अस्वपद विग्रहवाक्य as कुम्भं करोति इति कुम्भकारः and not as कुम्भस्य कारः if you follow Panini’s system.
Here is the commentary on the above quoted rule with more examples and explanations
And also सरसि जायते सरसिजम्, सरोजम् is also a case of उपपद “सरसि” + ज formed under “प्तप्तम्यां जनेर्डः”(।।३,२.९७।।.
In these both cases, the preceding word is called उपपद according to the rule quoted above. The first is called उपपद as the participle is derived with the rule “कर्मणि अण्” as the कुम्भ and नगर are the objects कर्मन् of the verb कृ, which is used with सप्तमी case-ending (as कर्मणि) in the quoted rule . In the second it is derived with the rule, in which the name of the विभक्ति i.e. सप्तमी is used in the locative (प्तप्तम्यां) in the rule, as qualifying the preceding word from which the participle ज from is derived from the verb जन् with the suffix ड. Only the two types of उपपद-s are intended when one designs the compounds as उपपद-समास unlike तत्पुरुष, कर्मधारय which will take normal विग्रहवाक्य. as राज्ञः पुरुषः – राजपुरुषः, कृष्णसर्पः, नीलोत्पलम् etc. This is the difference between उपपदसमास and other compounds.
Hope this may be interesting. Any doubts will be clarified on being raised.

Because it is the name given by Panini as तत्पुरुष and the other classification by us for our convenience. Hence if asked the name of the compound, only तत्पुरुष will be the answer and if asked the type of it, you may explain it by giving the विग्रहवाक्य in cases of अनित्य समास. like राजपुरुष can be explained with विग्रहवाक्य – राज्ञः पुरुषः, and the explanation of the compound formation as षष्ठी (षष्ठी । । २,२.८। ।) – as prescribed by the rule of अष्टाध्यायी. Here also षष्ठी is not the name of the तत्पुरुष or variety of it like कर्मधारय and द्विगु.

============
According to the Paninian classification the following are the types of समास-s designated by their name:
तत्पुरुषः ।। २,१.२२।।
तत्पुरुषः समानाधिकरणः कर्मधारयः । । १,२.४२ । ।
द्विगुश्च । ।२,१.२३।।
सङ्ख्या-पूर्वो द्विगुः ।।२,१.५२।।
शेषो बहुव्रीहिः।।२,२.२३।।
The others are made for the convenience of the beginners to facilitate the identification of the function of the compounds easily and finding their विग्रहवाक्य.
This was pointed by me in my first post also.
