AN 1.6

Dear All,

There is a phrase, repeated in many of the stanzas of this sutta,
which reads:

"...arittajjhaano viharati..."

So far I've come up with "ani~ncamaana" for the first part of the
initial compound ("pursue earnestly," among other things). "Viharati"
is "to stay, abide, dwell, sojourn."

I need help with the -jjhaano- part of the compound. I think it is
related, of course, to "jhaana" somehow. I'm aware that the term
refers to "absorption" and a high state of concentration, also to
burning away.

May I please have some help? In particular, where can I look to learn
about the suffix "o?"

Scott.
