I think I agree with just about all of them. After I sent the letter, I realized that my uses of la'edi'u were too inclusive, but I wasn't gonna go back and post about it, particularly since I had no better idea. Exactly what do you mean by being atist and not itist? One thing, though. I don't think I agree that terminators are an abomination from hell. Sure, they should be elided most of the time, but they're sometimes worth keeping even when they can be dropped. And that goes double for cu. Often, I like seeing a superfluous cu, just so I cnan keep straight on where the selbri is. You'll see alot of terminators in my upcoming translation! Oh, and on an unrelated note: was anything ever done about giving 'cevni' (god) a place for 'purview/bailiwick'? I think it really makes sense. ~mark
