Right. > What about "zo y si"? "zo y bu"? camxes doesn't consider "y" to be a word, so the first is the same as "zo si". "ybu" on the other hand is treated as a word, so the second is a quoted "ybu". Admittedly the word ".ybu" is the oddest word of the language, because it's the only one that admits a pause in the middle. mu'o mi'e xorxes
