I am sure Sarah is right about how Dosa can condition Lobha
to arise.  I haven't had the chance to read it thoroughly
yet, but perhaps by the upcoming weekend.

Yes, in that case, you have at least three nephews in this
group.  It's an interesting co-incidence that the three of
us (K. Num, K. Jaran, and I) ran into TA. Sujin, DSG, an PSG
at about the same age.  Conventionally (even with the
pannatti "pointing" to paramatha), I can think of many
kusala characteractics of many people in this group, so it
would be easy to call people aunts, uncles, older brother,
etc.
