N: You may be very busy but, it pays to look up the relevant Warder Ch that
Jon mentions each time he gives us an exercise.
At first I also thought that I would not need so much grammar, but I found
out that even the difference between instrumentalis or ablative can, if we
are not precise, twist the meaning. We have to be very precises with the
cases. I found out while studying the text of the Buddha's last meal in the
Dhamma Study Group. There are many pittfalls. In the course of learning
interest will grow. I welcome any discussions on grammar on this list. I
learn by discussions.
Nina.
