Dear Nina, Mahipaliha and Dave,

thanks for your advice. I was thinking of "hatthimhi aaruhanta.m", for
it would sound 'cartoon' in this sentence, as it literally means
"(continuously) climbing the elephant".

I am glad to reach the end of this exercise, which marks the end of
the section on nouns and compounds, so that I can move on to verbs and
tenses next.

metta,
Yong Peng.
