Re: Udumbarikaa Siihanaada Sutta, aacariyaka

Dear Piya,
I found in PED: teacher, reference to DI, 88 (annotations are different from
yours maybe), 119, 187, D II, 112.
The ending of -ka: we have to find other examples, it seems that it makes a
noun from the verb: who is teaching aacariyaka. I just see: parimajjati, to
rub, parimajjaka : who rubs. I have come across such forms. Gaayati, to
sing. Gaayika, female singer.
I do not know whether this is of any help,
Nina.
