Dear friends,

thanks to Jim, Nina, George and Florent for contributing to the
previous discussion.

I was able to have a good glimpse through Steven Collins' book in
January when I was in Singapore. The book isn't easily available now,
so I do not have a copy yet. However, I have made a copy of Appendix 1
of the book: Pali Grammatical Terms, which I shall use as a reference
as we progress through Saddaniiti. Examples from the appendix include

* aakhyaata, verb.
* dhaatu, verbal root.

Our previous discussions also highlighted the following:

* vikara.na, conjugational sign.

Hence, the chapter name: Savikara.na-akhyaata-vibhaaga, "Division of
verbs with conjugational signs", or simply "Verbs with Conjugational
Signs"

attha-atisaya-yogato parattham-pi dhaareti-iti dhaatu,
meaning-distinction-(from) application / other meaning - too / bears /
verbal root
"from the application of distinction in meaning too, bears (in) other
meaning(s)", (is) the verbal root,

attha (m) sense, meaning.
atisaya (m) distinction.
yoga (m) application.



metta,
Yong Peng.
