Thank you very much --I will add this term into the textbook I am composing,
with a foot-note citing you as the origin/authority behind the opinion. 
*However*, it is rather unfortunate that the term itself
("pubbakaalakiriyaa") runs contrary to the real meaning and usage of the
grammatical form, which is by no means narrowly defined as to "kaala" (as
you explained at length).

He who has developed a wish for the Undeclared (Nibbana), he whose mind is
