I would indeed use"bancu" (preferring it to "ragve", but the latter might also work directly substituted in the following) mi catlu le bancu be le canko or mi catlu le canko bancu neither of which gives any suggestion that the looker and the lookee are passing through the window or on the same side of the window, or any variation thereupon. Now lenu mi catlu cu pagre le canko or lenu mi catlu [cu] jaipa'o canko strike me as particularly Lojbanic means of expressing the idea. And I'll shut up before my mind goes off in even stranger variations. lojbab ------- End of Forwarded Message
