[Buddha-l] Loving your object of study

Jack,

I presume you mean in Pali.

I would refer rather to their range. 'Wisdom' (pa~n~naa/pajaanaati) 
is used to cover a wide range of types of understanding from the 
lowest to the highest; so everything depends on context. 'Insight 
(vipassanaa/vipassati) is much more restricted and often seems to 
refer specifically to some kind of experiential understanding of e.g. 
'change'.
