Dear All,

I answered my own question regarding the post script. Dr. Warder points
out in his section on digu compounds that a digu can either be "a neuter
singular (collective) or a plural (individual) of the gender of the
second member."

He gives "sa.laayatana.m" as an example of the neuter singular
(collective). So, it would appear to be a simple digu and not a
bahubbiihi.

With metta,
