Hello,
The genitive absolute rarely occurs in canonical Pali, if ever. Please refer
to my previous post on this issue.

Emne: SV: [Pali] Re: Warder Exercises - [F0014] ex. 11 part 2/2
Dear Alan, John, Ole and friends,
thanks for the discussion. I think this is a tricky sentence.
kaayo kilanto [OR] kaayo kilanto (hoti)
the tired body [OR] the body (is) tired
I like to think it is the latter, with 'hoti' implied.
kamma.m
work
'kamma.m' is in the accusative case.
me karontassa = of mine, of whom is doing [normal reading] me karontassa =
I, who is doing [genitive absolute]
I think it is genitive absolute. Hence,
kamma.m me karontassa kaayo kilanto
Since I was doing the work, the body is tired.
metta,
Yong Peng.
