To bad we can't meet there. I had the impression you were
writing from the U.K. I am not sure why. In any case, your
work sounds very interesting. I am just a Pali translator
and do not work directly on the history of grammatica, but
it is a subject that I am interested in. I will send you an
recent article and more info. on Thai grammatica soon after
my trip. I look forward to the Keiffer-Pulz paper. Thanks
for telling me about it.
Best,
justin
