Dear Ven. Dhammanando and friends,

Bhante: thanks again. I shall put that in. I have another question.
Is it more common to write 'bhikkhuniinañca' or "bhikkhuniinañ ca"?
Thank you.


metta,
Yong Peng

I don't see any way that could be done. But what one could do is to
take bhikkhuniina.m and upaasikaana.m as being genitive and then
insert phaasu.m (sg. acc. of phaasu, 'comfort' - masc.). Thus:

Mayha.m saamino jananii bhikkhuniinañca upaasikaanañca phaasu.m
sa'nga.nhi.

My husband's mother attended to the comfort of the nuns and female
devotees.
