Is the use of the word "modal" instead of "preposition" purely a Lojban thing? I think the usual (non-Lojban) sense of "modal" has more to do with what some UIs do. The only Lojban modals that might be standard modals are {ka'e} and {ca'a}, right? mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
