How the name is built

nounfemininenominative (prathamā)singularī-stemstem: śrīkaṇṭhārdhaśarīriṇī

śarīriṇī behaves like the -rūpiṇī names: the possessive -in is the operative element, so the compound proper is śrīkaṇṭhārdhaśarīra. The name can equally be taken as a bahuvrīhi, she whose body is half of Śrīkaṇṭha.
