The "Continuative Participle" mystery solved?

Hello,

  By comparing examples from different texts, I believe I have at least
sorted out the English terminology for this phenomenon (I do not yet know of
a precise Pali term for it):

  What Mason calls "The Continuative Participle", is the same as what modern
Sanskritists would call "the Absolutive participle", and what Duroiselle
gives the very-confusing name of "The Present Participle Active".

  I believe this is the form treated very briefly in Kaccayana's 604th verse,
which I honestly cannot get any meaning out of, except that the set of
examples following it are all of absolutive forms: hutvaa, datvaa, etc.,
with the meaning being "Having done", "Having given", "Having cooked", etc.
etc.

  I reproduce the following from Piyaratana's Sinhalese script edition
[Verses 603-604, pg. 121, sutta only, excluding Vutti & examples]:

  taddhita samaasa kitakaa naa mang vaatavetuunaadisu ca.
  dumhi garu.

  Bodhi's technical grammar doesn't discuss this term; does anyone know of a
name for the absolutive participle in Pali that is used in classical
sources?  Or, can anyone unravel an appropriate name from the verse above?

E.M.
