Dear Phanlaichen,
suttanta is not used very often in the canonical literature. It occurs e.g.
at A I 60, II 147, S II 267. You also find it in the Vinaya e.g. Vin I 140,
III 150, IV 344. There is no doubt that suttanta denotes texts like those
included in the first pitaka. sutta denotes the patimokkha. It is the first
literary category mentioned in the lists of types of text included in the
canon itself. For references, cf. my mail to Nina van Gorkom.

Dear Ole Holten Pind,
Could you please substantiate your clarification regarding
Patimokkha and suttantas by quoting the canonical source/ reference.
With thoughts of metta,
