First, I'd use a {zo} to quote {ko'a} (we want to refer to a word). Second, why {lo selma'o be zo ko'a} is wrong? Third, why {lo cmavo be zo ko'a} is better? cmavo2 is a selma'o, zo ko'a is a cmavo, not a selma'o. KOhA is a selma'o, lo cmavo is obviously a cmavo. mu'o mi'e ianek > > > > > > > > > > > > >>> On Saturday, 24 November 2012 00:14:36 UTC, Annie wrote: > > >>>> Are you saying that left-brace is sort of a letter?
