Dear all,

I have the following two questions regarding exercise 15. Couls
anybody help me answer them.

Kind regards,

Florent

Questions:

Sentence 6:
Why is dubbiniite (badly trained, foolish) in the plural since it
refers to one person (Sirima the prostitute I suppose).

Sentence 7:
I though dvaara was neuter. Why do we have "vihaaro sa.mvutadvaaro" in
the masculine and then dvaara.m in the neuter gender vivari Bhagavaa
dvaara.m) as it should be? It seems like dvaaro acts like an adjective
to vihaaro. Why couldn't we have something like "vihaarassa
sa.mvutadvaara.m"?
