Dear Dimitry,

We are back to Kangaroo Island and I have resumed my work on a bilingual,
litteral (linear) and litterary book of Pali chantings. Here are the p^jâ
chantings with diacritics. I would be most happy to have exchange with you
on the matter of translation in English, which clearly might influence my
translation in French.

(Note: for long voyels â, û, î, I simply use the circumflex (^) diacritic,
which is the usual way in French for longer voyels and is ANSI-compatible)

can anyone confirm?)
