But keep in mind that "Old" in the name is a convention. I find it
absurd to refer to, say Vetalapancavimsati, as Old IA and say,
Majjhamanikaya, as Middle IA. This is especially true when referring
to syntax. Syntax as described by Panini is closer to Brahmana prose
than to the (Sanskrit) dialog of available dramas.
