Pucchimsu må : for the aorist as prohibitive tense cf. Päli, e.g. MN I 387, 22 må man etari pucchi.
Ne in Pi § 431 and Geiger / Norman § 107 only given as acc. pl. of (e)na/ena, but Pi § 415 mentions it also as acc.sg. of the personal pronoun of the first person, though in brackets, which may mean that he had not found the form in the texts.

Na vâvi: T II 145a 13: na ca-ndiva.
Sa-kama-kiccena: sanskritized sva-käma-kṛtyena (T II 145b 1), but as
