If you are saying "which is the treasure of its owner" you could use {ke'a}= , "relativized it" which is used in a relative clause to stand for whatever that clause is describing. -epkat ------=_Part_9783_100352.1127913388636 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline On 9/28/05, Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.hn.org> wrote:

I think you want {vo'a}, but I'd= have to see the whole sentence. Either that
or {lo no'a}. My example of= those is {la djan. klama le zdani be vo'a pu le
nu la meris. no'a} &quo= t;John went to his house before Mary did", versus {la djan.
klama le zdani be vo'a pu le nu la meris. no'a ra'o} "John went to= his house
before Mary went to hers".

sanxiyn,

Just for reference, {vo'a} is a pronoun that repeats the first sumti of the sentence, and {no'a} repeats the next outer bridi; the one in which its bridi is embedded.

If you are saying "which is the treasure of its owner" you could = use {ke'a}, "relativized it" which is used in a relative clause to st= and for whatever that clause is describing.
