Hi Mike,

beware however that nama specifically excludes vi~n~nana. So mentality is
maybe not the best translation. For a thorough discussion about this see "The
Nibbana Sermons" by Bhikkhu K. Nanananda under
http://www.beyondthenet.net/calm/clm_main1.htm
It is interesting to note that even Bhikkhu Bodhi reverted to "Name and
Form" in his corrections to the Majjhima translation.
