Hi Nidhi,

Your sentiments are well-placed and warmly aprpeciated, but to be honest, it is a non-issue AFAIAC, and I'm sure Jens feels the same way. You'll see in my rather lengthy PM I didn't bother mentioning it even once.

Hardly more than a miniscule 'blip' on the radar of the forum, or even of the thread for that matter, and IMO not worth further discussion.

Anyway, back to the adya katthi - this is the first I've seen (which admittedly isn't saying a whole lot) with any inscription. It would be interesting to know what the earliest known (dated) inscription is on a South Indian blade, adya katti or otherwise...
