Dear Mahinda, Jim, Nina and friends,

I have been following your discussion on the previous post with much interest. I understand that discussion is yet to be concluded, but pardon me, I will go ahead with the text, and present it to the best of my understanding.

Bhuuvaadayo saddaa dhaatavo.
bhuuv, etc. / words / verbal roots

* aadi (adj/adv) so on and so forth.
** here, we see dhaatu declined in the masculine gender, as discussed in the preceeding post.

Seyyathida.m?
That is (what)?

Bhuu i ku ke takka taka taki sukaiccaadayo.
[The verbal roots] bhuu, i, ku, ke, takka, taka, taki, suka, so on and so forth.

Ga.nato te a.t.thavidhaa bhuuvaadiga.no rudhaadiga.no divaadiga.no svaadiga.no kiyaadiga.no gahaadiga.no tanaadiga.no curaadiga.no caati.
From the verbal class, they are eight-fold: bhuu-conjugation, rudh-conjugation, div-conjugation, su-conjugation, ki-conjugation, gah-conjugation, tan-conjugation and cur-conjugation.

* ga.na (m) verbal class.

Idaani tesa.m vikara.nasa~n~nite paccaye dassessaama.
Now, for [each of] these, we will show the suffixes known as vikara.na.

Anekavidhaa hi paccayaa naanappakaaresu naamanaama kitanaama samaasanaama taddhitanaamaakhyaatesu pavattanato.
Manifold, indeed, the suffixes, out of the many, [include] substantive, verbal derivative, compound, nominal derivative, [and] among verbs, from the process.

* naanappakaara: see PTS PED naanaa.
* aakhyaata (m) verb.



metta,
Yong Peng.
