That doesn't parse, and I'm not sure how to fix it. This does parse: centre li pa lo'o fa'u li re lo'o fa'u li ci lo'o lo sraji ku fa'u lo pinta ku fa'u lo condi The "ku", and probably the "lo'o", are not necessary with camxes, which doesn't have the LALR restrictions. "li pa fa'u re fa'u ci" also parses. Since the original doesn't say which dimension is which, I'd just say "centre li pa fa'u re fa'u ci". BTW, "cms" is incorrect; it should be "cm". Pierre
