To me it is better if you just have to learn one pattern (LE BRIVLA CU BRIVLA) instead of (LE/LA BRIVLA CU BRIVLA) and (LA CMENE BRIVLA), even at the expense of that {cu}, but that's just me. I suspect that the possibility of {LA CMENE BRIVLA} existing is part of what makes the common error {LE BRIVLA BRIVLA} so frequent. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
