Dear John, Nina, Piya, Rett and friends,

thanks for all the notes on seyya. I agree we have sufficient
practice of analysing the compounds. I shall not be doing it for the
remaining exercises, but we may just do it again for the first
passage at the end of the book.

metta,
Yong Peng.

I basically agree with what you say above, even though in my other
post I present how Sadd tries to go in and analyze it anyway.
Nevertheless it seems more practical to me to learn 'seyya' as just
another vocab item (and perhaps note the similarity to 'jeyya')
