Re: Saddaniiti Chapter 1 (5)

Dear Nina, Jim and Mahinda,

thanks again for your corrections and refinements, especially the discussion of naamanaama and pavattanato. Indeed, I am glad to hear it is a better attempt this time.

I refine the last sentence as follows,

Manifold, indeed, the suffixes are, from/on account of (their) occurring among the various substantives, primary (verbal) derivatives, compounds, secondary (nominal) derivatives and verbs.

metta,
Yong Peng.
