Text and translation
Read in the chapter →115. 181. Na ammādito (290)
Tato ammādito gassa ekārattaṃ na hoti.
Bhoti ammā, bhoti annā, bhoti ambā, bhoti tātā.
Ammādito ti kimatthaṃ? Bhoti kaññe.
- Ammā = ammā + si (‘si’ is named ‘ga’ (§57) and is elided (§220); here ‘ga’ is not substituted by ‘e’ because there is “ammā” (§115)).
- The formation of the rest of the examples is similar to the previous one.
What is the purpose of saying “after ‘ammā’, etc.”? [This sutta does not apply when there is no “ammā”, etc., such as in] bhoti kaññe.
Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
