Dear Petra,
Thanks for your encouragement. I will try to find the article on kāmaṃ in
the online CPD.
In addition to getting started on the abhinavaṭīkā, I also intend to
continue on with the work done so far on Dhammapāla's ṭīkā in February and
the Sumaṅgalavilāsinī will come in as well at some point. It's just a matter
of syncrhronizing so that all three commentaries.can be worked on together
as a whole and so there will be a lot of moving around between texts in the
process. I'm very excited about the project and I think it is a great way to
increase one's understaning and appreciation of the Pali tradition.
Accodring to Buddhaghosa, the Visuddhimagga will also have to made use of to
explana what Sv.does not. Kaccāyana can wait until the actual words in the
sutta are taken up.
Best,
Jim

Dear Jim,
the meaning given in MW is to be found in Pali too, but it does not fit the
case. By the way, as Ole told me, the meaning given in DOP was already given
in the CPD, where I didn't look.
I think it is great that you translate these verses. And naturally there is
always room for improvement. But it is great that you undertake the task to
translate the Sv-nt introductory verses.
Best,
Petra
