Dear Phra Yuttadhammo,
> Yes, it has some Pali and Thai in combination. I am not sure
whether it has all of the Pali... it seems mostly Thai, so probably
not.
The Pali text of Padaruupasiddhi is fairly large. It takes up 422
pages in my Burmese edition.

<< The second line is Thai. Suutara is actually Suutra (Thai almost
always > uses sanskrit spelling) And your "Adhipaaya" is a Thai word
"atibai" > meaning explain. It means this is the book explaining the
sutta called "kaccaayanavyaakara.na". One of the e-books has the
same title, but it is very short (11 pages) and seems just to be the
introduction.

Thanks for the corrections. I only started learning to read Pali in
the Thai script last year and know very little about the Thai
language. I have a lot to learn just to able to romanize Thai. I have
a few conversion sheets on transliteration (ISO 11940) and
romanization (UN 2002) for the Thai characters but there are so many
of them (44 consonants and 57 vocalic nuclei and special characters).
It seems like a really difficult language.

I now recognize that the symbol in both cases is a "9". I thought it
was a number but I got confused by the other way of writing it.

With "-pa.thuum", I now see that the "uu" looking symbol under the
".th" character is not a "uu".
> I think it is "VidyaKHETA" not "jeta" - khet=area/field and
vidya=study, thus: "The Buddhaghosa Faculty of Pali Study"
You're right about the "kheta", my mistake.
Thanks for your help.
Best wishes,
Jim
