Thanks, Lennart, for the links. I've got a library copy of Fahs' book
and have especially found useful the index of difficult-to-recognize
forms at the back of the book. It's been a real time-saver, and
therefore I'm trying to find a used copy.

Has anyone here used Oberlies' grammar?

http://www.buchkatalog.de/
Search from this link on 'oberlies pali'

It's very expensive but if it supercedes Geiger and is as easily
referencable as Fahs it could be worth the cost.

A more general question to all: which Pali reference works do you
find helpful and why?

best regards,

ET
