what does sutta denote?

sutta is mentioned first in the old list of literary form in the Pali canon
sutta.m, geyya.m, etc. Now sutta (always referred to in the singular)
denotes the Paatimokkha (presumably an early form) - commented in the
Suttavibha.ga of the Vinaya. sutta contrasts with suttanta (often referred
to in the plural in the Pali canon) the assumed speeches of the Bhagavat.
