SV: 1915 Burmese "-suci" (Abhidhanappadipikasuci)

This work is very interesting in that it contains comprehensive section on
Pali grammatical literature. It is written in Sinhalese, but includes
quotations in Pali from the relevant literature, sometimes from works that
have not yet been edited or are no longer extant. The author is a well-known
Sinhalese scholar, Waskaduve Subhuti, the editor of the editio princeps of
the Abhidhaanappadiipikaa. The suucii was published in Colombo 1893.

I read a reference today to the following:
   _Abhidhaanappadiipikaasuci_, 1915, Hanthawaddy Press, Rangoon

It is apparently over 660 pages, and may be a very useful work; if anyone
could find a copy, I would be very interested to know more about it. I
presume that it is an all-Pali work, but, given its date, it may well have
Burmese or even English commentary/glossing.

The reference I found actually gave the title as _Abbidhaana..._ [sic.?]
--but this may well be a variant spelling of the title in Burma [right or
wrong], so if you are checking a computerized catalogue, you may want to try
"bb" in place of "bh".
