Dear Jim,
<<The Nyaasa (ad Kacc 10) glosses 'adho.thita.m' with 'pubbe.thita.m>>
Are we talking about the same text? My Sinhalese 1898 ed. Nowhere glosses
adho.thita.m with pubbe.thita.m, neither in the part commmenting on Kacc 10
nor in that on Kacc-v 10.
I think that the Nyaasa makes sense if interpreted as I have suggested: the
pubbabhuuta.m (so Nyaasa) consonant i.e. the one that precedes a following
vowel is written below a immediately preceding consonant by dissociating it
from its vowel which thus becomes vowelless (asara.m), after which it is
joined to a (following) vowel as explained in Kacc 11. The two suttas really
belong together.
Best wishes,
Ole
