"kansi'u", not just "simxu", yes. But since m= ost of them are tanru
modifiers it is not a big deal.

Which is good, bec= ause I'd rather stick with kansa in those tanru for the same reason I&#= 39;d prefer to stick with barda in the earlier cat comparison.

You could use "tolkansi'u xabju", but as I said, the pi= cture does show
two houses one next to the other, so in that particular case "sepsi= 9;u"
does apply too.

The x3 of sepli is the thing doing= the seperating. In the English definition at least (It doesn't have a = Lojban definition yet) the applicable te sepli are any of "partition/w= all/gap/interval/separating medium".

Would you disagree that {mi do sepli loka clabra}? (I probably could ha= ve come up with something better for "great distance", but meh.)<= br>=A0

But it's your translation, not mine. When it comes to translation= s,
there are very rarely definitely right or wrong answers.
