Dear all,

Somewhere in the Atthakathas or Tikas there is an analysis and list of
the various ways in which a 'dhamma' is defined according to the
commentarial system. This distinguishes between certain modes of
definition as provisional (pariyaayena?), and others as ultimate
(paramatthena?). Does anyone know exactly where this passage is, and
can you give references and/or quotes?
