Hi Jim,

The page I sent you the link to, from the Mahamakuta site, also lists
a lot of grammar books treating

> Akhayatakanda (conjugation of verbs) and Kibbidhakanda. >>

etc., probably the Thai adaptation of the ancient texts, would those
interest you as well?  Would you like me to translate the parts about
the grammar books for you, just in case?  Or would you be more
interested in the ancient texts as such, with commentaries apart, as I
think you might,

I'm sorry about the accidental duplication of one of the messages I
sent last time, I have deleted it from your archives,

Anumodana with your studies,

Amara
