Emne: Re: SV: SV: SV: SV: [Pali] How to analyze 'Cirssuta' ?
Dear Dr. Pind
Thanks very much for your clarification. Now I understand the point.
Does Kaccaayana-vyaakara.na, which you're editing now, has a rule saying that genitive case also denotes agent in a sentence?
Not exactly, but Kaccayana sutta 310 states that the genitive case is used in the sense of the instrumental case. This rule is based on the assumption among indigenous grammaians that a word in the instrumental case in construction with a ta-participle is used to denote the agent.
The idea that e.g. enclitic me or no are instrumentals is due to a flawed analysis of Pali usage.
By the way, when will you finish your work on Kaccaayana-vyaakara.na,? I can't wait to see it.
It is more or less finished. Hopefully, I shall see it published in about 6 months.
With best wishes
Ole Pind

Emne: Re: SV: SV: SV: [Pali] How to analyze 'Cirssuta' ?
Dear Dr. Pind
In your first reply, you takes 'no' in the sentence to be of genetive case, functioniing as an agent. Could we just explain it as an instrumental case, which also denotes an agent?
This I regard as not possible, although respectable grammars like the one by Geiger revised by Norman claim that no represents acc. instr. dat, and gen. However, in Sanskrit nas > pali no is never used as an enclitic form of the instrumental case, and we have no reason to believe that pali differs from Sanskrit in this particular respect. Besides it is very common to find, in the pali canon, genitive substantives constructed with ta-participles as denoting the agents of the verbal actions denoted by the participles.

I look for the example you gave, and find CSCD reads 'cira.madi.t.thaa' not
'ciradi.t.thaa'
Does it mean anything important?
No. The CSCD records the Burmese reading as opposed to the Sinhalese one.
Syntactically it makes no difference. It is possible, however, to find
examples of compounds with cira.m, which merely indicates the adverbial
status of the complement.
Best wishes,
Ole Pind
