Dear Friends,

I'm working my way through the Pali Primer and have a question on
Lesson 3, Exercise 3, Pt. 4 - Translate into English...

20. Kumaaraa assehi saddhi.m gaama.m dhaavanti

I translated it as:
"Boys run to the village on horseback."

The key at www.tipitaka.net rightly translates the sentence:
"Boys run to the willage with horses."

However, since the endings "ena" and "ehi" can mean "by," "with"
or "through," I wondered if a more general verb such a gacchaati
might
change the translation and thus, "Kumaaraa assehi saddhi.m gaama.m
gachaanti." might indeed be translated as "The boys go to the
village
on horseback."?

Thank you for your help!

Liz
