Dear group,

I have previously introduced the idea that we find in the Pali canon forms
that cannot easily be explained morphologically. I quoted the form anassaama
as an instance of a present form with an onglide /a/. At M I 177, for
instance, it is followed by the present form panassaama. One commentator,
Dhammapaala, suggested as an alternative explanation that /a/ is a nipaata.
It is obviously an on glide and not just a transmission error because it is
found in both D and M. If any one in the group comes across odd forms, I
should be glad to receive information about them. Usually one discovers such
forms by chance.

Regards,

Ole Pind
