I know fi'o converts a gismu into a BAI. Is there a cmavo to convert gismu to FAhA? If not, what would be a good expirmental cmavo? I want to maximize use of gismu. I want something like mi catlu x??? pagre ku le canko and I am not sure what the terminator for x??? is. Does mi catlu fi'o canko ku le canko have the right semantics? Probably not. Can predications take place within windows? Again, ku is probably not the right terminator for fi'o. -- Frank Schulz ( fschulz@pyramid.com )
