I am questioning the following text in MN 43:
It appears "paññāpetuṃ" is from "paññāpeti"; from which "paññāpana" (below) is also derived.“Wisdom and consciousness—
“Yā cāvuso, paññā yañca viññāṇaṃ—
are these things mixed or separate?
ime dhammā saṃsaṭṭhā udāhu visaṃsaṭṭhā?
And can we completely dissect them so as to describe the difference between them?”
Labbhā ca panimesaṃ dhammānaṃ vinibbhujitvā vinibbhujitvā nānākaraṇaṃ paññāpetun”ti?

In SN 22.82, the word "paññāpanāya" (dat; gen) is found in the following context, as translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi:
Bhikkhu Bodhi has footnoted this, saying:The four great elements, bhikkhu, are the cause and condition for the manifestation of the form aggregate. Contact is the cause and condition for the manifestation of the feeling aggregate. Contact is the cause and condition for the manifestation of the perception aggregate. Contact is the cause and condition for the manifestation of the volitional formations aggregate. Name-and-form is the cause and condition for the manifestation of the consciousness aggregate.

My question is:...paññāpana is literally "making known" and something is made known either by becoming manifest or by being described...
1. Are there more creative ways to translate this verse?
2. For example, can it be translated to reflect the following statement:
Thank you“Wisdom and consciousness—
“Yā cāvuso, paññā yañca viññāṇaṃ—
are these things mixed or separate?
ime dhammā saṃsaṭṭhā udāhu visaṃsaṭṭhā?
And can we completely dissect them so each has a different manifestation?”
Labbhā ca panimesaṃ dhammānaṃ vinibbhujitvā vinibbhujitvā nānākaraṇaṃ paññāpetun”ti?
For you understand what you cognize, and you cognize what you understand.
Yaṃ hāvuso, pajānāti taṃ vijānāti, yaṃ vijānāti taṃ pajānāti.
That’s why these things are mixed, not separate.
Tasmā ime dhammā saṃsaṭṭhā, no visaṃsaṭṭhā.
And you can never completely dissect them so each has a different manifestation .”
Na ca labbhā imesaṃ dhammānaṃ vinibbhujitvā vinibbhujitvā nānākaraṇaṃ paññāpetun”ti.
