But I am thinking: is it possible to call our approach using RG also the
trilinear method? For, we also have Pali, word for word translation and
modern English (where necessary). Or perhaps we have got four lines when
word-to-word relations are also accounted for. How should we call it?
quadrilinear method? Sorry for my stupid question but I just can't think
of a suitable term. My English is still in need of further improvement.
