Dear Nina and friends,

thanks for the better rendering of the words for 11. 10 is tricky, in
fact I had what you gave too, but Dr. Silva's answer take puttassa in
the genitive case although the dative case is also correct.

Once pass this chapter, the book will be moving on to other areas of
Pali grammar, and should be more exciting for those first attempting
Pali.

metta,
Yong Peng
