After a neuter, replace /su and /am (with /luk).

Or more simply —

Delete /su /am after neuters.

Examples after consonants —

bahupur- n + /su OR /am → bahupur n "that has many cities" by this rule

**manas- n + /su OR /am → manass → !**manas' by this rule

**nAman- n + /su OR /am → nAman → **nAma by nalopaHprAt...

Examples after (i u )-enders —

**dadhi- n + /su OR /am → **dadhi "curds"

**madhu- n + /su OR /am → !**madhu "honey"

a -enders are affected by the exception atom >.

**bhaya- n + /su OR /am → !**bhayam

After long vowels, hrasvonapuMs... shortens —

bahugrAmaNI- n + /am
→ bahugrAmaNi- + /am by hrasvonapuMs...
→ bahugrAmaNi "(family) that has many maiors" by this rule

as in bahugrAmaNi kulam .

Why didn't you give examples with R -enders above?

Because they are seldom. But if you insist —

guNabhoktR- n + /su → !**guNabhoktR "perceiver of the energies"

from the zloka —

sarvendriyaguNAbhAsaM sarvendriyavivarjitam
asaktaM sarvabhRc caiva nirguNaG guNabhoktR ca
bhg 13:14

Also, MaxMueller either heard somewhere of a neuter nounbase **dhAtR- meaning "providence", or made it up —

dhA + /tRn → !**dhAtR-

**dhAtR- n + /su OR /am → !**dhAtR "providence"

**dhAtR- n + /jas OR /zas → !**dhAtRRNi "providences"

Are there any RR -ender nounbases?

Only when grammarians make them up, as the zRR dRR pRR in sUtra zRRdRRpr... — these are roots.

What would this sUtra do to these RR bases if they were neuter?

Of course it would shorten RR into R , then /luk the /su /am. Cook your own example.
