Dear Nina, Jon and Dhivan,

thanks for your interest, I do hope Jim and Mahinda will be able to
contribute to the discussion of the text if we do start on
Saddaniti/Saddaniiti.

I'm with Nina and many others, I do not intend to "rush" through the
text. With the amount of work we have done on the list, I believe we
have already encountered most of Pali grammatical forms. However, I
believe Saddaniti, as a seminal work of Pali grammar, should be a
challenging and interesting text which would generate a good amount of
discussion, advance learning and research.

I am considering obtaining a copy of Steven Collins' grammar,
otherwise I would require Jon's help in cross-referencing Saddaniti
with his book. Brief information on Professor Collins, currently a
Pali Text Society (PTS) council member and a faculty at Chicago
University: http://salc.uchicago.edu/facultybios/collins.html


metta,
Yong Peng.

N: Jim has studied this a great deal, but I understood he left his
cottage for the winter. If he could help us? And Mahinda, if he has
time? It has to be slowly, since others and I also have other projects
as well and these take time.
