Dear Ole Pind,
Do you think that abhiha.t.thu.m, which only occurs with forms of the
verb pavaareti, could be a .namul absolutive ending in -u.m, rather than
an absolutive similar to da.t.thu.m (in which the absolutive ending
-tu.m is used as an absolutive)? If it is a .namul, then it is used
adverbially, and this would make more sense in expressions such as
abhiha.t.thu.m pavaareyya in the Paatimokkha.
Best wishes,
Nyanatusita
