There are dwanda's from Sanskrit origin - some even indicating the
pairs of of the same type or pairs of the opposites - Vyasa is supposed to
be an expert in these and used liberally in Mahabharata.
for example:
- bhaaryaabharthalu - tallitandrulu - sukhaduhkhaalu - maanaavamaanaalu -etc
many forming dwanda samaasas.
