Some pāḷi vocabulary words to easily pick up (if people hyphenate), from the chapter headers of Visuddhimagga

 Try to picture all the pāḷi words without the parenthesis.

That's the monstrosity I had to deal with as a beginner.

Why won't people be kind and hyphenate the words?

You'll have an easier time learning pāḷi.

You're welcome.
