Hi Rett,
Thank you very much.
I looked up in Warder niggahita, p. 217. I am glad you tell me that it is
.m, this was not clear before. Warder has examples: kusala.m+ti: kusalanti,
etc. By meeting them in the texts I can get used to them.
What about the other dotted byañjana, like .l,.d, I cannot place them, and I
cannot pronounce them.
I am not sure about the voiced ones you mentioned to me before. What is
voiced?
Warder is very short in Ch 1. Or am I deviating too much from our subject?

With that missing line my transl. problems are solved.

<"What is the point (of defining the term) 'consonant'?" > byañjana
iti anena ko attho>
I had some trouble with anena, but in PED under aya.m: <The instr. anena is
not proved in Pali.> This is not clear. But, it is from aya.m.

Nina.
