Reply to Dr. Pind, re: Burmese Kacc.?

Dr. Pind,

  Thank you very much for your reply --and thank you also for your earlier
reply about the unusual _avyaya_ listed in the _baalaavataro_.  I made
changes accordingly --and the list of particles continues to grow.  I found
a few to add to my list (i.e., that my other sources had omitted) in going
through a beautiful 1965 Mon/Burmese publication (from Ye).  Another
reminder that there are good (if obscure!) publications from Burma!

  Although it is probably impossible to Romanize Burmese publication data, I
wonder if you could either:
   (1) tell me any information that might be in Pali/English (such as the
year or the name of the editor or his Wat?),
or (2) ask a librarian to "scan" the title page as an image that could be
sent to me as an e-mail attachment?

  I'm sorry to pester you about this, but there are some Burmese-Pali
resources even in the lowly Thai National Library (Bangkok) --but I think I
would have to bring something very definite to get the assistance of the
(sleeping) librarians.

  Again, please don't worry yourself about it if it's too much trouble.  I
don't mean to intrude, and sometimes I know these things are too much to
ask.  Even I get some requests for information that I have to say "no" to!

E.M.
