Dear Phra Yuttadhammo,
Dhātuk is also in the list of abbreviations used for the Critcal Pali
Dictionary. That list can be found here:
http://pali.hum.ku.dk/cpd/intro/vol1_epileg_abbrev_texts.html
Many of these abbreviations are the same ones adopted by Margaret Cone for
her dictionary and were originally coined by Helmer Smith, I believe. I
try to follow these as much as possible. The CPD abbreviation for the
abhinavaṭīkā on the Sumaṅgalavilāsinī (1st vagga) is Sv-nṭ. The author names
his ṭīkā the Sādhuvilāsinī (18th-19th cent.) according to the tenth
introductory verse on page 2 (Sv-nṭ I 2 (Be)).
Best wishes,
Jim

Dear Chris,
Thank you, that's helpful, though I must say I'm a bit turned off by the
choice of "abbreviations" - what kind of abbreviation is "Dhātuk"?
Best wishes,
Yuttadhammo
