I read it through, and there were only about four words I didn't know (haven't checked them yet). A few comments: > .i le'i skari pe le remna skapi > jo'u ciblu cu sinxa fole kazyka'o ki'uledu'u da poi remna cu se flira > lo dukse beleka blabi .a leka xunre cu cusku ledu'u da bilma I think there's something wrong here: .i [le'i skari pe le [remna skapi jo'u ciblu]] cu sinxa [fole kazyka'o] ki'ule[du'u da [poi remna] cu se flira [lo dukse bele[ka blabi] .a le[ka xunre]] ???cu cusku ledu'u da bilma I can't find anything for that "cu cusku" to attach to. Perhaps you need another "lenu" before "da poi remna"? > ni'o zu'i dasni la'ezoiby. MARtenitsa by. ji'elenu viska lo cipnkikonia Be careful. "ji'e" has no idea of time in it. "ca'olepu'inu viska" might be better (if "pu'i" is the anticipative - I'm not sure) or more prosaically "pujenaicalemu'i viska". co'omi'e kolin c.j.fine@bradford.ac.uk
