Gheppaami (etc.) & Rasmus Rask

Hi Rett,

(1) Thanks for looking up gheppaami (etc.) in Pischel --I do in fact own a
copy of Pischel (and I've been hauling it around Asia), but it is currently
in a crate at the Tipco building.  Could I get your full name to give you a
mention/credit in the footnote?  BTW: I can confirm (through electronic
searching) that gheppa- does not occur anywhere in the tripitaka --but all
the major Pali grammars (incl. Moggallana) include it.

(2) Yes, as it's only 16 pages, I would very much like to impose on the
kindness of this particular stranger.  There's next to nothing "out there"
for people wanting to learn to read & write pali in Sinhalese characters, so
it would probably have some practical value as well as sheer curiosity.  I
remember using the memorably titled "Learn Yourself Sinhalese [sic.]", and
struggling to figure out the relationship to Romanized text.  In any case, I
can read both English and German, so Danish should be "clear as mud".

Thank you for your advice & assistance,

Eisel Mazard
