Re: Translation Help Needed

Hello,

I suggest "sayant" present participle of SI to lean
against as well as of SII to be laid/lying. If you put
it in the nominative case > sayantaa/sayanta.m/sayanto
or syato

That would give "Sayant Siiha"

I don't if it really sounds good either in Pali or in
English, nor do I know if you put places names in the
nominative case or leave it unflected.
