Dear Gunnar and friends,

thanks for the correction. It is a syntax error I committed in the
English translation.

Ida.m mayha.m hotu.
May this be mine. (Imperative)

When you have "This should be mine", do you mean the potential
particple, which, as I found on PED, should be hotabba.m or
bhavitabba.m. Please advise. Thanks.

metta,
Yong Peng.

I think you misread the last vowel in the verb. Should be "May this
be mine" ot "This should be mine", shouldn't it?
