Venerable Bhante Pandita,
It is very kind of you to answer me.
Thank you very much for the advice. I have almost read it through and then I
shall start right off from the beginning again.
An excellent idea to look for word relations.
I am not familiar with the Jataka text, but I could take the
Mahaaraahulovada sutta and Commentary, since I studied that word by word.
It would also be helpful and stimulating if Rett and others also come in
with examples.
With respect,
Nina.
