Actually, {ka} can follow {la}. Anything that can follow {le} can also follow {la}. The problem there is that {binoc} is not a selbri, and thus it canīt follow {ka}. You could use, for example, {la ka me la biNOC} as a name. > Is there a simple way >to say "Binocheness" other than {tu'a la biNOC.}, which is too >vague for what I had in mind? But you don't want the name "Binocheness", you want the property, {le ka me la biNOC}. co'o mi'e xorxes
