Dear Nina and Yong Peng,

On Jan. 17 this year I posted something on the usage of vinaa in
message #13199. The following extract may help:

<< I see in Apte's Skt. dictionary that 'vinaa' can be constructed
with the accusative and ablative in addition to the instrumental.
Also, in Kacc 272 we find: "vinaa saddhammaa nattha~n~no koci naatho
loke vijjati, vinaa saddhamma.m, vinaa saddhammena vaa. vinaa
buddhasmaa, vinaa buddha.m, vinaa buddhena vaa".>>

I'm currently involved with resarch on the etymology of "mano" and
don't have time to start looking any further into "vinaa".

Best wishes,
Jim
