Please post the entire citation and what it is from, and make sure every single detail is right. It matters.

I suspect that you misread "1991a" as "199la". A year and letter, in combination with an author's name, are used like that in some forms of inline citation to distinguish between different articles written by the author in the same year, as "(Arunari 1991a)". There will be a 1991b
