Hi,
Do you have a copy of Intro to pali by Warder.He put
gerund (compound gerund for me and undeclineable
/absolutive for many other teachers)
for pubbakiriya like gantva-having gone to follow by
another verb in a phrase.There are some pubbakiriya
ended in ya ,tvana .
And in other part he gave action noun (real gerund in
English grammar)for word like dassana which usually in
dative case with ya added.This kind is not absolutive
(undecline like the above )and it is not a verb like
above.
I never heard of adverbial participles in english but
i think i learned it before in german grammar text.
In pali past and present participles can be used us
adjective,noun,present and past perfect verb.See
Warder 's book.
