Re: paññaavuddhisutta.m.

Dear Robert,
I gave away pts dict long time ago because I think it
has too many mistakes and is a sanskrit-like dict.Read
and use Buddhadatta dict will be more than enough(book
from Buddhist Cultural centre in Sri lanka).Use
buddhadatta's 3 books on Pali grammar(also from sri
lanka) which is an easy to read book than others eng.
pali grammar like Warder,geiger and perniola etc.
The address to order critical
dict---direct@...
Ask them to give you Denmark Krone only but not USD
will be cheaper
