Thank you Bhante Sujato, I can see how you might wish to finiiish this phase of the project before launching into a new expanded scope.
But here is the particular example that brought this up for me - MN19 which I revisit fairly often as I mainly teach beginners.
3 3Then, as I meditatedâdiligent, keen, and resoluteâa sensual thought arose. I understood: âThis sensual thought has arisen in me. It leads to hurting myself, hurting others, and hurting both. It blocks wisdom, itâs on the side of anguish, and it doesnât lead to extinguishment.â When I reflected that it leads to hurting myself, it went away. When I reflected that it leads to hurting others, it went away. When I reflected that it leads to hurting both, it went away. When I reflected that it blocks wisdom, itâs on the side of anguish, and it doesnât lead to extinguishment, it went away. So I gave up, got rid of, and eliminated any sensual thoughts that arose.
4-54Then, as I meditatedâdiligent, keen, and resoluteâa malicious thought arose ⌠a cruel thought arose. I understood: âThis cruel thought has arisen in me. It leads to hurting myself, hurting others, and hurting both. It blocks wisdom, itâs on the side of anguish, and it doesnât lead to extinguishment.â When I reflected that it leads to hurting myself ⌠hurting others ⌠hurting both, it went away. When I reflected that it blocks wisdom, itâs on the side of anguish, and it doesnât lead to extinguishment, it went away. So I gave up, got rid of, and eliminated any cruel thoughts that arose.

as we read through it, we accidentally missed that it was two things in the first pass
[yes I know a little more mindfulness would help]
Going over again the amazing incredible step by step process that the Blessed one gives us to eliminate toxic thinking is just so useful to so many people.
Repeating it three times is quite special.
Iâll mention some others if you like as well.
Oh and I was wondering if I could help at all with the dictionary
