That's entirely incorrect. {ma mo ma} means "Give me two sumti, and a relation that relates them.". This is very different from {ma mo zo'e}, which means "Give me a sumti and a relation that relates it to something unspecified". Now, in either case, since there's a mo in there, you're probably going to answer with a single full bridi, but technically the answer should be a sumti, a bridi, and another sumti, as seperate sentences. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
