The full list of basic actions seem to be: cisma, cmila, frumu, senci, tunlo (smile, laugh, frown, sneeze, swallow). Can you elaborate on the range that they can cover? >On the other hand, we left several potential members of the set unreduced >and >somehow manage to deal with all the cases anyhow.

I wish this principle had been applied more often. In the case of {tunlo}, putting a sumti in a non existent place is like adding a place with {do'e}. I don't think it would be hard to interpret what {le sincrboa ba'o tunlo le xanto} means, would it? mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
