Thank you, Lance.

Since prajñapti-sāvadya is a common synonym for pratikṣepaṇa-sāvadya, the 
paññattisāvajja in the Spk-pṭ I 86 passage does the job, I imagine.

Perhaps. Here is part of what Muller's DDB says re: pratikṣepaṇa-sāvadya:

"遮罪 crime not wrong in itself, e.g. taking alcohol, but forbidden by the 
Buddha for the sake of the other precepts; transgression of this is 
therefore a sin against the Buddha."

One of the terms that er zai ("two types of crimes") renders is ubhayāvadya, 
"two types of avadya"; avadya does carry a strong sense of deserving of 
censure, blame, non-praiseworthy, but also includes imperfection, vice, etc. 
in its meanings. I think drawing too sharp a distinction between the 
subjective-sense of assigning blame and the objective sense of being 
blameworthy, such that these terms would only denote one but not the other 
is questionable, though there may be ideologically attractive reasons for 
wanting to do so.
