The way I read it is that it's *highly* unlikely that any grammar changes will occur. Especially for something as questionable as CAhA+NAI, where it's not clear what it even should mean. In fact, you'd do well to avoid using PU+NAI/FAhA+NAI as well, lest you fall into the trap of thinking of it as something other than contradictory negation. -- Jordan DeLong - fracture@allusion.net lu zo'o loi censa bakni cu terzba le zaltapla poi xagrai li'u sei la mark. tuen. cusku
