Re: Kacc 271

Jim,

Ole has given you a good account of ta.myathaa. If you want references
to this in dictionaries, grammars, studies, see for example

- Edgerton's Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary s.v. tad-yathaa,
sayyathiidam
- Oberlies's Pali: A Grammar of the Language of the Theravada Tipitaka,
pp. 13, 185
- ta.myathaa in the Milindapanha is taken as a Western form compared to
Eastern seyyathaa by Norman, Collected Papers vo. II, p. 97 and others

Regards
Mark
