I would like a doi, not only for the various people but also for the various subjects. I want to say doi djankac's question .i {the answer}. I do not think doi is appropriate here. because others are following the discussion too. many times. two people will be asking the same question. I don't want to cull away the audience with doi!

The first thing that came to my mind is {se ra'a} "concerning ...", but that's not in COI. > Another word I find myself wanting, especially in conversations with a certainty female whom I hope to gain the favor of... is a word to signify a peace and quite in a conversation. something that I can say that means "I am at peace and have nothing more to say" I do not want a long utterance like that though.

How about {mu'o} "over (I have finished talking; I'm open to responses)" or {be'e nai} (which is not in my ma'oste but which I would understand as something like "I don't want/need to speak right now")? mu'o mi'e .filip. -- Philip Newton
