Dear Yong Peng,

Sounds reasonable! I would like to add that my own palistudy list also
has a focus on classical grammar texts, particularly those of the
Kaccaayana school. Here are the texts I'm working on:

Kaccaayanabyaakara.na.
Nyaasa (aka Mukhamattadiipanii), an 11th cent. commentary on Kacc.
Thanbyin-.tiikaa (aka Nyaasappadiipa), a rare 12th cent. .tiikaa on
the Nyaasa.

There is quite a bit of commentary on the introductory verses of
Kaccaayana to work through and it's going to be more a study of the
jewel-triad for a long time before we get to the first sutta of Kacc
in detail.

For Pali texts from the Tipitaka:

A detailed study of the Dhammapada in conjunction with its commentary
and classical grammatical studies of the vocabulary of the Dhp text.

Also, I've been thinking of introducing Abhidhamma studies starting
with a detailed study of the Maatikaa at the beginning of
Dhammasa"nga.nii along with its a.t.thakathaa and 2 .tiikaas.

However, this is all progressing at a snail's pace.

If anyone is interested in participating in this venture, they can
contact me offlist.

Best wishes,
Jim

> thank you. I have slightly different views. For us, as a group, we

started out elementary books, modern texts in English. Now, we have
compiled complete solutions for several of such texts. We are now
taking the next step, to study classical Pali grammar. To do that, we
will need more assistance, and more knowledgeable contributors like
yourselves, and more time for a classical grammar text requires more
effort.
