It looks to me like the first {sa da} would strip out {lo cukta} and replace it with {da}, leaving {mi vecnu do da}, then the next {sa lo cukta} would turn it into {mi vecnu do lo cukta}, and then a final {do} for {mi vecnu do lo cukta do}. -- Adam Lopresto http://cec.wustl.edu/~adam/ Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
