2. A Note by Col. G. E. Fryer on a Burmese copy of the Kalapa 

 Grammar. 



" I have recently obtained a complete copy of the Kalapa grammar 

 called by the Burmese ' Kalap Kyan ' and I find it to be an exact coun- 

 terpart of the Sanskrit Katantra, together with the alternative readings, 

 as edited by Eggeling in the Bibliotheca Indica Series. I am not aware 

 that this fact has been noticed before. 



The work is written in Burmese Sanskrit characters upon about 82 

 palm leaves, eleven lines to a leaf. The Sandhi, Karaka, and Samasa 

 chapters take five leaves each. Nama nnd Taddhita take eight and six 

 respectively. Akhyata occupies 24 and Kita 28 leaves. The work closes 

 with ' iti daurggasihyd hrittau krittu shashtha pdda samdpfah. 



The forms for the two Sanskrit sibilants, the palatal and lingual, 



which are wanting in the Burmese alphabet are thus given S o = ^ji dasa, 



ten • and O is^ = ^^ shash, six. You will find these two forms given at 

 page 4 of a Burmese grammar printed at Serampore in the early part of 

 1814, by F; Carey, I think (for my copy of this grammar has no title 

 page). The writer, however, has made his Burmese symbol correspond 

 to the wrono- Sanskrit sibilant. His symbols should change places. 



Immediately preceding the 82 pages forming the text of the gram- 

 mar there is a list of all the sutras, filling ten leases. Immediately
