BTW, that's a rather nice example of how impractical using inflection instead of, say, prepositions, to indicate syntactic relationships between various parts of a sentence can be. In English you just use the preposition "in" once, and then you can, in principle put any number of attributes, or whatever, between it and the headword, I believe. In Sanskrit above, you have to add the inflectional ending of locative plural "-su" (or "-Su", depending on *internal* sandhi) to all the components of the noun phrase: satiiSu - viSayaasu bahviiSu smRtiSu. ------------------------ Yahoo!
