| I’m not a Pāņini scholar at all, but I believe there’s an example ‘apacasi’, literally, ‘you uncook’, but used in the sense of ‘you’re a terrible cook’.

Sent from my iPad Dear colleagues,
In the 2500-line Prajñapāramitā i find expressions such as:
nâtra kiMcid vidhyate nâvidhyate, “here nothing is penetrated nor unpenetrated”.
So far as I can determine, in avidhyate the initial a can only be taken as privative. Is this uniquely a peculiar Buddhist usage?
thank you for your thoughts, Matthew Matthew T. Kapstein Professor emeritus Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, PSL Research University, Paris
