I wrote: li mo'e loi menske pa'i mo'e loi menli du li mo'e loi ji'eske pa'i loi xadni as mekso for the proportion statement. Aside from the fact that I'm not sure we can get away with {pa'i} (are we really *dividing* here???), the grammar's wrong. {menli du} winds up a tanru. I need at least li mo'e loi menske pa'i mo'e loi menli ku du li mo'e loi ji'eske pa'i loi xadni with a {ku} to break it up ({lo'o} might be clearer, but a syllable more). Hardly matters, but thought I should be thorough. ~mark
