RE: Kaccayana Pali Vyakarana pdf downloads

p.s.

"Reader beware" in using this publication as it contains many spelling mistakes and some peculiarites in the use of the apostrophe in the Pali text.

To show a sample, there is an explanation of the use of the word "pubba" with a another word in the ablative case. This usage recently came up here regarding the expression "pubbeva sambodhā" which  is explained in Vol. 2,  p.388 as follows:

Pubbayoge–(The example of apādāna) where the word "pubba" is used in the context.
(1) Pubbe'va [pubbe'va=pubbe+eva] Pubbe-before, previously.
eva-only. sammodhā-from (the time of) enlightenment. i.e. At
the previous time from enlightenment. (Prior to enlightenment).
icce'va'mādi.

I find a number of peculiarities in the above and can hardly believe the typo "sammodhā" for "sambodhā" went unnoticed. Elsewhere, I also notice a consistent misspelling "vibatti" for "vibhatti" (case-ending). So much for the first rule in Kaccāyana stressing the importance of the correct spelling or pronunciation of Pāli words.

Despite the defects, the publication does provide a lot of useful information for the study of traditional Pāli grammar.
