Thanks a lot, Amara! I would like very much to have a photocopy of the
Wat's copy of the Nyaasa if that is at all possible. There's no
absolute guarantee yet that I will come into possession of the other
versions, so it makes sense to try and get whatever one can and
besides it's good to have as many versions as possible for comparing
the accuracy of the readings. I'd want very much to share the text
with the group for us to study. Perhaps we could try to make a digital
etext version of it for easier distribution. I'll pay for all the
costs of the books, photocopying, and mailing even if I have to pay
someone to do it.

Mahachulalongkornrajvidyalaya University may be another place to look
as I saw on their website that they offer the following course:

000 173 Comparative Study of Pali Grammar I 2 (2-0-4)

A comparative study of Pali Grammar in three texts, namely; Kaccayana,
Moggallana and Saddaniti by comparing with Sutta, Vutti, instance in
Sondhikanda (combination portion), Namakanda (noun portion),
Akhayatakanda (conjugation of verbs) and Kibbidhakanda. >>

Just the sort of thing that interests me a great deal.

Best wishes,
Jim
