Dear Jim and Teng Kee
Thanks for this discussion - it is a pity that it is quite difficult to get
hold of Burmese editions. Is there a good reliable source? I have managed
to get some but by no means all of the titles which would be useful.
Just a small question though: what is an example of a "complete" grammar - I
do not know of any in any language for any language - many purport to be
complete but seldom live up to that claim. It is always essential to use
all available sources to complement each other, so I am not sure why the
case of Paali should be any different. Even Paini's grammar - usually
referenced as the ultimate source for Sanskrit is similarly "incomplete" for
Sanskrit and can only shed limited light on the Prakrit languages.
Kind regards
Robert
