N: I understand the study is heavy for you. One sentence is also fine, I am
happy with anything. Will it help you if you just prepare, but leave more
work to us translating? I have the books for reference, no problem. I want
my daily Pali tr. anyway, so I do not mind what it is.
As to sutta: I like everybody just to see it as pleasure, not as duty. It is
difficult to organize rotating on a list. Say, if I jump to it, someone else
may jump at it at the same time. I enjoy teamwork more, but if this is
difficult to organize I can do more if you like. Maybe some more later next
week, I have some family duties first.

N: This will be very hard work and it means more mails. We are already so
busy here, I feel, with the texts. I do not know what to say about it.
Y: As for sutta translation, I really appreciate your kind contribution.

N: is a para a sentence, or three lines? Anything you suggest. No problem.
Nina.
