1. nibbana = an unborn, unbecome, unabdicated

Ud 8.3 PTS: Ud 80 Nibbāna Sutta: Unbinding (3)

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/ud/ud.8.03.than.html

There is, monks, an unborn[1] unbecome unmade unfabricated.

atthi bhikkhave, ajātaṃ abhūtaṃ akataṃ asaṅkhataṃ.

 

2. the nibbana = the highest noble truth = Unbinding = the undeceptive

MN 140 PTS: M iii 237

Dhatu-vibhanga Sutta: An Analysis of the Properties

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.140.than.html

for this Unbinding, the undeceptive is the highest noble truth.

Etañhi, bhikkhu, paramaṃ ariyasaccaṃ yadidaṃamosadhammaṃ nibbānaṃ.

 

3. the 4 noble truth = real = not unreal = not otherwise

SN 56.20 PTS: S v 430 CDB ii 1851 Tatha Sutta: Real

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn56/sn56.020.than.html

"Monks, these four things are real, not unreal, not otherwise. Which four?

cattārimāni, bhikkhave, tathāni avitathāni anaññathāni. katamāni cattāri?

 

4. this = a reality = not an unreality = not other than what it seems

SN 12.20 PTS: S ii 25 CDB i 550 Paccaya Sutta: Requisite Conditions

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/sn/sn12/sn12.020.than.html

What's there in this way is a reality, not an unreality, not other than what it seems, conditioned by this/that. This is called dependent co-arising.

"Iti kho, bhikkhave, yā tatra tathatā avitathatā anaññathatā idappaccayatā  ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, paṭiccasamuppādo.

 

5. idappaccayatā = the nibbana‘s idiosyncrasy of building paccaya

1. Ida & Idaŋ : (1) in this, here (2) now, then which idha is more freq.

2. Paccayatā : the fact of having a cause, causation, causal relation

http://dsalsrv02.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/search3advanced?dbname=pali&query=idappaccayat%C4%81&matchtype=exact&display=utf8

idappaccayatā = ida + ppaccayatā

ida + ppaccayatā = in this + the fact of having causal relation

idappaccayatā = the fact of having causal relation in this

 

The 'this' definitely is nibbana as the result of hypothetical reasoning in Ud 80, MN 140 SN 56.20 and SN 12.20.

 

So, idappaccayatā = the fact of having causal relation in nibbana.

But I who was programmer think the following expression is more appropriate.

idappaccayatā = the nibbana‘s idiosyncrasy of building paccaya
