7. Kibbidhānakaṇḍa (Primary derivation section)

Note

The kita suffixes are grouped by the time and sense they express: the kicca suffixes (tabba, anīya, ṇya …), the agent and action nouns valid for all three times, the past participles, the infinitives and absolutives, the present participles, the future participles, and the uṇādi words whose formation is recorded one by one. The section ends with Buddhappiya’s colophon (nigamana), which names him and his teacher.

The kita suffixes by time and sense

Buddhappiya sorts the primary suffixes by the time they express; the ranges are Rūpasiddhi numbers.
