Dear members,

Just to let you know. For some of you who are or may be interested in
approaching Pali through the traditional grammars such as the
Saddaniiti, you might consider subscribing to my small Palistudy
mailing list which is dedicated primarily to the study of the old
treatises on the Pali language & written in Pali. Hardly any of these
texts or parts thereof are available in English so this means that we
have to study the source texts in Pali. We're just getting started on
the Kaccaayanavyaakara.na and in fact I'm busy preparing to post the
second rule (Kc 2) on the letters (akkharaa). If you would like to
join us, please contact me at: palistudy@...

Best wishes,
Jim
