Dear Nina,

I will do as you suggest. I will include in my article a list of paa.li
examples and then after it, a list of English examples too (like I
already have). This way, we will have the most tools at our disposal.
After I have it finished, I will break it up into pieces by compound and
post them one at a time to the Yahoo Paa.li group. This way, hopefully
we will receive some comments about it and I can rework the article and
make it even better. My goal is to have something that I can place on
my website and in the E-Sangha Paa.li forum as a tool for others. Thank
you for taking the time to look at it.

Metta,

Alan
