Dear Mahinda and friends,

I quote from an earlier message -
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pali/message/13075 - ... I will proclaim
the Saddaniiti or the Science of Words ...

I wonder if the venerable author Aggavamsa mentioned the reasons for
the choice of the title.

I gather from the PED:

sadda (m) word.
niiti (f) guidance, conduct, practice.

Hence, literally, saddaniiti means the study, rules, logic/science/art
of words.


metta,
Yong Peng.
