Dear Yong Peng,

At last, I've been able to spend a block of time reviewing the Narada
and have managed to catch up with your most recent post! As usual,
thanks again for all your hard work on this list.

I admit I don't know the answer to what type of compounds these are.
I only know they mean "seen before"and "heard before". I've been
waiting for one of the Pali experts to jump in and enlighten us.

> mahaapaasaadato ???

This one I would say is:
mahaapaasaadato = mahataa + pasaadato [K] ("from the great palace")

With metta,
John
