To me, certainly yes! Like jim, I had had an old set bought (2nd hand) in the
70s which starting falling apart from mould living on the Peak and had to be
thrown out. We hesitated over the expensive replacement, but well worth it,
esp. for someone like you....not for the pali but for the reference. We were
given the Rhys dict as a present by PTS so this made the price 'even out'.
Just realised pali uses a different order for noun cases...so I'll keep quiet.
o'wise will confuse you more!
