Dear Frank,

"empty hut" appears in the satipatthana sutta as well, then as su~n~naagaaragato. In the MN this word appears 7 times.
If I skip the ending "ato", DPR finds suññāgāragatāpi (2) and su~n~naagaaragatopi (1) as well
In all situations the word is preceded by "foot of a tree".

The SN rends suññāgāragatānaṃ (1) and su~n~naagaaragato (15)

There might be other flexions that I am not aware of. This is as far as my Pali goes.

The -pe- repeats are not written out as complete text in the DPR, as far as I know, so you might want to check those in an other way. If you can do that on the plain pali text, here is how you can get it all in your wordprocessor:

The whole SN is in 5 files on your computer. The files are in the directory
Program files\DPR\DPR\xml\s1m.xml ; S2m ---S5m. The S1a files are the commentaries.
If you want to open the files directly it is better first to make a copy and save that copy in another directory. DPR will refuse to read files that have been saved by a normal wordprocessor. You can open the copy in a standard wordprocessor as long as you won't try to use the same file in your browser afterwards. The wordprocessor will process all the HTML-code and convert it to quite readable Velthuis, but still mixed with some stuff I don't understand.

BTW the directory DPPN contains the dictionary of pali proper names.
CSS contains the layout of the pages, etc contains the dictionaries, images contains images and js contains javascript, the actions happening when you click on one of the buttons. XML contains the tipitaka and the commentaries.

Kind regards,

Ria Glas
