<< I notice the use of m. what does this "m." mean in Pali, masculine
or plural?>>
I assume you're referring to ".m". It is the niggahiita -- the 41st or
last letter of the Pali alphabet. It is equivalent to the m with an
underdot as seen in unicode. For representing the m with an overdot
you can type "m which is also another way to represent the niggahiita.

It seems that some spaces somehow got inserted after the period in the
digital transmission.
