Suggestions? The definition of x2 of sisku has been generally reviled, and someone (xorxes?) assiduously ignores it & places an object there. As for the x3, maybe {zvati} is useful: mi ba sisku tu'a la'e zoi fy San Graal fy ro lo'i zvati be lo terdi mi ba sisku tu'a la xekri xirsoi ro lo'i zvati be lo nurma mu'o mi'e komfo,amonan ------=_Part_126797_22514736.1169334293753 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline On 1/20/07, Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org> wrote:

I honestly can't think of satisfying ways to fill sisku for either
