Re: Niggahiita in IPA?

Dear Ole,

<< Warder's interpretation reflects the Sanskrit phoneticians' description
of
the articulation of the socalled retroflex series(vagga). In Sanskrit
jivhopagga (Sanskrit jihvopagra) denotes the part of the tongue next to
(upa) the tip i.e. the underside of the tip of the tongue rolled back in the
muddhan (Sanskrit muurdhan). The term contrasts with jivhagga i.e. the tip
as such that is instrumental in producing the dental series. The Kacc-vann
passage seems very strange and non-standard to me. I shall try to locate it
when have time for it. >>

The passage is located in the discussion on .thaana, kara.na, and payatana
towards the end of the section on Kc 2. I rechecked my transliteration for
errors and it seems fine to me. But strangely, this whole part is missing
from Tiwari's Devanagari script edition. I will check the
Kaccaayanatthadiipanii which expands on much of what is written in
Kacc-va.n.n. Its commentary on the niggahiita (Kc 8) is two big pages long!
