Dear Rett and friends,

there is a mistake which I carried over from my previous post.

My correction: atthama~n~naati = attha.m a~n~naati

There is no aa~n~naati, as Rett has explained:

from _aajaanaati_ to _a~n~naati_

"The prefix /aa-/ is shortened to /a-/ because it precedes a double
consonant." (msg#10099)

Hope this clears things up now.


metta,
Yong Peng.

aajaanaati = a~n~naati: understands, knows, learns.

I still think the resolution of atthama~n~naati should be attha.m
aa~n~naati, otherwise they would be grammatically incorrect.

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