Re: vandite

Dear Ole & Lance,

It's making sense now and I think you're probably right. The "ca' after
"vandite" certainly suggests a connection between "vandite" and "paade".
Unfortunately, there is no "ca' in "ra~n~naa pana vandite" in the Ja I 88
passage. Anyway, I'll pass on your solution to the other Pali list.

Lance, I checked your subscription for bouncing but everything seems fine.
The list hasn't been busy (55 messages posted so far this year). Sometimes
one has to check to see if wanted messages aren't being weeded out as spam.

Best wishes,
Jim
