Re: thanks for support

Dear Nina,

Dear Jim, I am really very grateful that you can help with these challenging
texts, and I appreciate Suan's kindness to join ps in order to support us as
well. This is all very good news.
Maybe it is easier for you to paste again my translation of Mp. which I
corrected after your remarks and corrections. Only the last part was not
corrected yet.
As to M-p.t. , I posted this to you before, but now I can make more
corrections because of Suan's translation. Especially at the end I go wrong,
what do you think about this? It will be very interesting to see the later
Tika of Sariputta, I am thrilled. But the more modern Pali is very
difficult. Many thanks and best wishes from Nina.

Jim: It's great to hear from you! Thank-you for including your corrected
translation of the commentary. I've just finished cutting and pasting both
yours and Suan's translation of the commentary and subcommentary on AN
1.49 along with the Pali into a single document. I thought this could serve
as a master copy that could eventually be uploaded to the files section of
the palistudy homepage providing it's okay with you and Suan. I'm planning
to put in own my translation as well. It might make it easier for you (and
for me) if you revise your translation directly on this document which you
could then return to me when finished. Just let me know if you'd like it
sent to you. Or we could just leave the uncorrected subcommentary
translation you sent in last November as it is and you could revise it later
after I check through it. The document would normally be available whenever
any one of us translators wishes to make some changes to our own
translation. I thought it might be useful for translators and
non-translators alike to compare different translations side by side with
the Pali.

It may be awhile before I order Sariputta's tika as I'm going to be moving
around in the near future and not around to pick up books at the postoffice.
Hopefully, later on in the year.

Best wishes,
Jim
