Alex Wynne did a degree in Religious Studies in Bristol and then came
to Oxford where he obtained a D.Phil (effectively in Pali and
Buddhist studies). He held a Junior Fellowship here for several
years, but is, I believe, now in Bangkok at Mahidol. The case is
similar with Justin Meiland.
But I don't think either are especially interested in grammatical studies.
