Generally speaking, the names of Jātakas and Suttas are given without a hyphen—e.g., Kapi Jātaka, Kavi Sutta—and these words follow the usual order. Thus Kapi Sutta is given before Kapiṭṭha and Kavi Sutta before Kaviṭṭhavana. When 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: v2.c26.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.4) - [Next: v2.c26.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.6) - [Up: v2.c26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.5) · Pramāṇa
