I think {ka'o} is more like {pi}, {ki'o}, {pi'e}, {fi'u} than like {pai} and {te'o}. {ka'o} separates the real from the imaginary part of a complex number. That it defaults to {no ka'o pa} is just like {ki'o} defaults to {pa ki'o no no no}. > and no'o is in BPFK Section: > Inexact Numbers.

I included no'o there because it can work as a quantifier, which is the basic function of the "Inexact Numbers". {xo} and {tu'o} belong in a section of their own, obviously they have little to do with mathematical constants. I can include them with "Inexact Numbers" if you want. mu'o mi'e xorxes _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo!
