This is a fine example of why tenses don't successfully substitute for "cu". Had you said "cu ba zbasu" you would have gotten the correct parsing, because TENSE+elidable ku can appear almost anywhere, whereas "cu" can only appear just before the (extended) predicate. -- In politics, obedience and support John Cowan are the same thing. --Hannah Arendt http://www.ccil.org/~cowan ------------------------ Yahoo!
