I think the correct preposition is "la'u", not "tai". "tai" is what I used =
in=20
".i ca'o le nu casnu tai kei", for "pendant qu'ainsi l'on d=E9lib=E8re".

Cross-linguistically, verbs are words that take arguments (sumti). There is=
=20
not, as far as I know, any natlang which has an indefinitely long sequence =
of=20
numbered places, but all natlangs, as far as I know, and Lojban have words=
=20
which take arguments, some of which can be tagged by an adposition. So a=20
brivla is a verb.

Jews use a lunisolar calendar; Muslims use a solely lunar calendar.
