Dear Ole,

thank you. I spent a good part of the day searching for a noun,
adjective, nominal or adjectival suffixes that would fit -ttha.m. I
have considered attha, but did not know it can be used adverbially
until I check the online PED again after reading your post. I have
also thought about -tthaa, which is an adverbial suffix, but did not
consider it to be possible.

I will have an attempt with the sentence, and the complete passage
ready later this week.

metta,
Yong Peng.
