Venerable Bhikkhu Yuttadhammo,
Thank you very much for all the classifications and examples.
Comparing with Warder (p. 108) I see that it is not always so that
the first member is an attribute to the second. There are many more
types and that is good to know. I keep it in my files. The Thai will
not be necessary.
With respect,
Nina.
