The new Sutta Central translations have translated the Pali word "abhinibbatti" as "reincarnation", as follows: > *And what is rebirth? Katamā ca, bhikkhave, jāti?* > > *The rebirth, inception, conception, **reincarnation**, manifestation of the aggregates, and acquisition of the sense fields of the various > sentient beings in the various orders of sentient beings.* > > *Yā tesaṃ tesaṃ sattānaṃ tamhi tamhi sattanikāye jāti sañjāti okkanti **abhinibbatti** khandhānaṃ pātubhāvo āyatanānaṃ paṭilābho.* > >*SN 12.2* What evidence is there in the Pali suttas that the word "abhinibbatti" means "reincarnation"?
