[226] "Thus the Venerable Tissa Metteyya (iccāyasmā Tisso Metteyyo)": "icca" (thus) is a connection of words, a linking of words, a filling-out of words, a combination of syllables, a smoothness of consonants; this word "icca" serves the sequential ordering of words. "Āyasmā" (venerable): this is a term of affection, a term of respect, a term spoken with reverence, a term spoken with deference. "Tisso": this is that elder's name — a reckoning, an appellation, a designation (paññatti), a current expression, a name, an act of naming, an assignment of a name, a term, a phrasing, an utterance. "Metteyyo": this is that elder's clan name — a reckoning, an appellation, a designation, a current expression. Hence: "Thus the Venerable Tissa Metteyya."
