Dear Ven. Pandita and friends,

Bhante: sadhu! That is so very true, we learn from the Tipitaka
rather than dictate the way Pali should be constructed. As Nina said,
RG is a very useful tool. I have yet got to read and understand the
whole of it. I shall follow Nina, who is superior than me in Pali, in
that regard. [ In fact, I have not read Warder's in full yet, but
only refer to it now and then, and quick look through John's postings
which I compile and put it on the web. ]

The dynamic nature of the transitivity of Pali verbs as they take
various forms is a little advance for me now. Your explanation is
certainly helpful. I may not be able to fully digest them, but I
believe it is very good inspiration to others. Now I know gacchati is
transitive, while gaccha is transitive and can be intransitive in
some cases.

metta,
Yong Peng.
