Sri Desikan's garuda Dandakam


Respected Bhaagavathas,
Humble prostrations. We are glad to see the
srimukhams from many of the members of the group. 
Adiyen has been reading Sri Garuda dandakam for quite
some time. It is seen from the introduction written
by Sri Ramadesikacharyaswami in the chapter relating
to the above Garuda dandakam in the book 'Desika
stotraani' that the the dandakam consists of four
paras and each para consists of 36 Ganaas and each
Ganaa consists of three aksharas like ga, ru, da or
ma, ki, la and so on, These ganaas are classified
into ma gana and ra gana or laghu and guru (I think). 
It is stated that the first two ganaas in each para
are laghu and the rest are guru.
I have got doubts on the follwoing points.
1. How are the aksharas classified into ma gana and ra
gana or laghu and guru? What is the definition?
2. How is a long compound word to be split up? How
is a conjunct consonant to be treated?
e.g., 1) kantithakunntavaikanntta
2) suparNa
I would be thankful if any of the memers of the
group clarifies. 
I think Sri Sadagopan swami would be able to bless me
with his srimukham with a few illustrations.

Dasoham,

T.S.Rajagopalan
