Dear Dr. Pind
Many thanks for for your reply. We do learn a lot from
your posts.

The Sanskrit grammarians classify the root dhyaa as
dhyai which phonetically becomes jhe in Pali. They
also classify the root k.saa as k.sai which develops
to jhe in Pali.
Yes, PED is wrong, although dhyaa evidently
presupposes dhii, of which it is an enlargement.
Please refer to Whitne's Roots under dhii.
Hope this has clarified the issue.
Regards,
Ole Pind

---------------------------------
I forgot to mention that the root of jhaayati to burn
is jhaa. The corresponding Sanskrit root is k.saa. In
Middle Indic languages k.s becomes jh. This explains
the Paali root jhaa and the verb jhaayati. Since
Sanskrit dhy becomes jh in Paali, the root jhaa to
meditate from Sanskrit dhyaa, and the root jhaa to
burn have become indistinguishable.
Regards,
Ole Pind

Emne: [Pali] How to find out the root of a Pali verb
Dear friends
What is the Pali root of jhaayati which means to burn,
not to meditate? PED gives only Sanskrit root.
Is there any reference book by looking into which we
can know the root of a Pali verb?
