N: I like it to put my Thai next to Pali, also in case of Rahula Co, it
helps.
Mahamakut bookshop Bgk could send you such texts to Singapore if you need
them.
Acharn Somphorn Sriwarathit translated the greater part of the Co. He is a
friend, I have known him for a long time. He has his own web, Jaran is
familiar with. His example always inspired me to study. He knows the
dictionary by heart. Whatever word you need, he repeats the word slowly,
thinks, and then gives the derivations, and with such good cheer. He is more
in the background now, but he is on Sunday at the Dhamma Study and Support
Foundation (munithi), for one lecture. Worthwhile to meet him.
P: May your winters always be pleasantly warm (I remember ants happily

N: Any weather will do, fine for study. I am thinking of the sutta: someone
puts off work: too hot, too cold.
Let me know when you are in Holland, you are always welcome,
best wishes,
Nina.
