the suffix dheyya

Dhp 34 presents one of several instances of maaradheyya recorded in the Pali canon. naamadheyya is another instance of the same type of derivation. Like maaradheyya it is also found in the Pali canon.
-dheyya like Sanskrit dheya is used as a meaningless suffix, and it is therefore necessary to correct extant Pali dictionaries and translations of Dhp 34. maaradheyya.m pahaatave means "to quit/abandon Maara." naamadheyya of which there are several examples in the Pali canon means "name"  like Sanskrit naamadheya.
