Dear Florent,
Thanks for your efforts in posting this series. I find it quite
useful trying these translations and comparing results with yours.
One suggestion:
> 3.I went into a house to bring an umbrella and a cloth.
> aha.m / gacchi.m / geha.m / aaharitu.m / chatta.m / ca / vattha.m
> Aha.m chatta.m vattha.m ca aaharitu.m geha.m gacchi.m.
'geha.m gacchi.m' would be 'I went TO the house', whereas I think it
would be better to use the verb 'pavisati = enter, go in' in this
sentence. Thus 'geha.m pavisi.m', I think, if I've got that aorist
form correct.
With metta,
John
