Dear Yong Peng,

I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you taking 'tappaccayaa' to
be a compound word (correct) or two words (incorrect) each with its
own inflectional ending like for instance 'etamattha.m'? Note that
'tadattha' is a compound word. The base form of the pronoun is 'ta'. I
don't know for sure if the added consonant was a 'd' when it was
assimilated to the 'p' of paccaya or if the doubling is due to some
other influence. I can't offer much more help as my knowledge is
limited.

Jim
