Re: about dvandato, etc.

Dear Jim

Sorry for my late reply. The cause is networking problems still unsolved
by my ISP.

Thank you for your correction. At present, I have no access to many
Burmese sources except CSCD.

>I'm familiar with the term "paribhaasaa". According to the Suttaniddesa, the suttas are categorized into four types: sa~n~naa (definition), adhikaara (governing rule), paribhaasaa (key to interpretation), and vidhi (statement of a general rule). In Vasu's translation of Paa.nini's grammar, two additional categories are given: niyama (restrictive rule) and atide"sa (extended application by analogy) --Vol. 1, p. 1.

have discussed.
