Re: The sense of 'sammati' in Thai/Cambodian editions of SN 5.10 Vajiraa Sutta

Dear Khristos,

The word 'sammati' in this verse is used in the sense of
assumption/supposition.

When coming to the Thai language, we pronounce it as 'som-mud', while
writing it variously either as 'sam-mati' or 'sam-muti'.

Kind regards,
Chanida
