Dear Rett, Nina and friends,

thanks, Rett. You are right.

May I clarify with your last sentence. Do you mean the Sandhi should
be resolved as

attha.m aa~n~naati, rather than attha.m a~n~naati (as you wrote)?

Also, what does aa~n~naati (or a~n~naati) mean? ~Naati, according to
PED, is not even a verb.

Maybe divide it like this:

attham a~n~naati

The prefix /aa-/ is shortened to /a-/ because it precedes a double
consonant.
