Ariyaratna Sir, I would like to add, that only after reading your post on “pilana” i could trace back and co relate the concept and the actual word to our own “peeda”.
Many times, I am amazed of how some words and their lingusitic settings/contexts , passed down from generations, can be potent, provided, we are well aquianted with them and their correct contextual usage etc.
Society seems to preserve certain “truths” it has seen, through language.
Regards and Thanks Sir. Hope all is sound and well with you.
