Dear Rene,
> Rene: Why not just say that Bh compounds can also end with an adj.?
> Rett: Because they can't.
I have a problem with the reply attributed to Rett -- though I am not sure
if this is ipsissima verba, but that statement is clearly wrong. Bbs are
merely an exocentric use of Tps and Kdhs -- that is, Bbs are not actually a
new, seperate compound class, but chiefly derived from Tps and Kdhs (NB:
mainly from Kdhs in Skt, probably the same in Pali). Therefore, IF Kds in
particular can end in an adjective (as they indeed do), then so can Bbs !
Why is this all proving so difficult to understand ?
As far as I can see, Rene is correct.
Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
