Correction: three additional syllables. > In other words, only if you wish to ignore Zipf's Law %^) If you want short words for frequent combinations, I suspect that "la'e di'u" would have a much stronger claim on "jei" than "du'u xu kau". Even making "jei" one syllable and "du'u" two syllables goes against frequency of use. And one thing you can do with "du'u xu kau" which you cannot do with "jei" is put the focus on any element of the bridi, just as you can do for questions with "xu". mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= BPFK" group.
