Dear Raiu and friends,

I am not aware of any such a fantastic text for Pali, but I do
scribble some meaning phrases, and here is one in the current
exercise book I am using:

pittan te kupita.m -- you are in a bad mood. (lit. your bile is upset
or out of order) [Ref. PED pitta]

Enjoy.

metta,
Yong Peng
