Dear John,
I tend to think that you did not make an error. Warder may not have been
aware of the verbal constraints on constructions with yatra hi naama, which
is highly likely, or may have changed the readings for pedagogical reasons.
Let us see what members of the group have to say about the readings.
Best,
Ole

Dear Ole,
Thanks for your feedback on my work. Unfortunately, since I am
travelling at the moment I too don't have access to my copy of Warder,
so cannot check to see whether I made a typographical error, and all
the instances of "pa~n~naayati" should be "pa~n~naayissati", or
whether Warder got his text from some source other than PTS. Perhaps
somebody else on the list would be kind enough to check this for us,
or else it can just wait until mid-September when I get back to my
home base.
Would you change the translation here based on your observation?
With metta,
John
