Re: A I 1 (ya.m eva.m]

Dear Lance,

Thanks! Your use of yaṃ seem to correspond to the following s.v. 1 yad in
MW:

"yad as an adv. conjunction generally = `" that "' , esp. after verbs of
saying , thinking &c. , often introducing an oratio directa with or without
iti ; " (from the Cologne Digital Sanskrit Lexicon)

Your translation reads well and I have been considering the possibly of yaṃ
being an indeclinable. In the sentence:

"Nāhaṃ, bhikkhave, aññaṃ ekasaddampi samanupassāmi yaṃ evaṃ itthiyā
cittaṃ pariyādāya tiṭṭhati yathayidaṃ, bhikkhave, purisasaddo."

"Nāhaṃ, bhikkhave, aññaṃ ekasaddampi samanupassāmi" is the main clause and
the remaining part introduced by yaṃ is the subordinate clause.
