Could you please explain this?   Where do you get that there is any 
limmud from Ammon to Moav?  The Torah says *both* Amonim and Moavim are 
banned because they didn't welcome us with bread and water.  You seem to 
be claiming that Amonim are banned for this reason, and then Moavim by 
some sort of gezera shava from Amonim.  Where is this coming from?
