And some people use {du'u} with the rules you describe for {ka}. I have not seen anyone use du'u with implicit ce'u and I think there is unanimous agreement that any implicit sumti within du'u is a zo'e and not a ce'u. I think you and xod will agree that (i) the *rule* for ka is nowadays held to be that iff there is no overt ce'u a ce'u is inserted in the first unoccupied place, and (ii) in actual usage, the first unoccupied place tends to be the first place. This is exactly parallel to the rules (actually I'm not sure about that, but there should be such a parallelism) and usage of ke'a within NOI. --And. ------------------------ Yahoo!
