> Now I realize sometimes Buddhadatt's dictionaries are more useful than PED.This is especially true when it comes to modern Pali composition. If I suspect that a mysterious word means X, I first look up X in Buddhadatta's English-Pali dictionary. The PED has good coverage of the vocabulary of canonical texts and books like Dhammapada.t.thakathaa. However, modern prefaces and epistles weren't consulted at all as far as I can tell.
