For others’ information, the post on “pilana”: “Anicca – The Incessant Distress (“Pīḷana”)“
You wrote: “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. “
- Yes. The Sinhalese (Sinhala language) words are very similar: “pilana” is the same (පීලන), although the word “peleema” (පෙලීම) is more common; “bhara” is “bara” (බර).
- Languages in that region have similar words with similar meanings. That is why I was able to guess the meanings of the words you used.
