Dear Diipaa,

Fear not, you were right!
doctor's (singular) = vejjassa
doctors' (plural) = vejjaana.m

I don't have the Pali Primer, but from what you say the error is in the book, not in your work.

Subject: [Pali] Lesson Six Pali Primer question


Greetings,
I am about to finish up lesson six in the Pali Primer and have a question
regarding the answer for 16. The sentence is:
The doctor's teacher calls the child's uncle.
The answer shows doctor's as plural. I don't understand why it would
be plural. Is there someone who can explain this to me?
They give this answer:
Vejjaana.m aacariyo daarakassa maatula.m pakkosati.
I wrote doctor as singular:
Vejjassa.

thanks,
Diipaa [?]

these things lead to benefit and happiness,' enter on and abide in them. AN
