Dear Piya and Mahinda,

thanks for the interesting discussion. I did not have a clue of the
abbreviations. Fortunately, Mahinda is able to help.

It is very interesting to see "abbreviations" at all in such forms.
Pali, as much as I have seen, is well-known for ever-expanding
never-ending compounds, not abbreviations. ;-)


metta,
Yong Peng.

Thanks, Mahinda. My gues of Machasa.m was right, but it's good to get
