With no "bo" ... ni'i da means "logically because of da", da acts as the first place of nibli, which is what I think you said. ----- lojbab Both sentences are asserted in a connected sentence, as well as the causality, another difference from the subordinate form. I'm a little confused as to what you say cowan said. Since he isn't present, the mail problem not fixed to my knowledge, I suggest defering this till he is able to respond. lojbab
