What’s the difference between khamo and khanti? Is it just a different conjugation?
There are 30 pali suttas with “samādhi” in the sutta title, there is only one sutta,
AN 5.113, called “sammā samādhi”, and khamo is the key characteristic described in there.
Khanti is one of the 6 paramis (is that even EBT?) , and Mahayana’s 10 parami.
