Generally speaking, the names of Jātakas and Suttas are given without a hyphen—e.g., \*\*Kapi Jataka\*\*, \*\*Kavi Sutta\*\*—and these words follow the usual order. Thus \*\*Kapi Sutta\*\* is given before \*\*Kapiṭṭha\*\* and \*\*Kavi Sutta\*\* before \*\*Kaviṭṭhavana\*\*. Where a word is hyphened, either because it is a true compound or merely for convenience, it is regarded as a single word. The presence or absence of a hyphen affects the order, and a certain amount of circumspection is, therefore, requested in looking for compound names, or those that appear to be so. - [Previous: v1.c6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.4) - [Next: v1.c6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.6) - [Up: v1.c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c6.5) · Pramāṇa
