If you don't like my lujvo proposals, you are welcome to suggest alternatives - I generally have included them where I did because I thought that it clarified some aspect of the gismumeaning. If you don;t like them, they should be replaced by better ones or deleted. taplytai: tapla's essence is near two-dimensionality, and is therefore a flat thing having a shape. taplytai is therefore that shape. If the shape must be seltai, noting a comment you made on another word, we probably should find a way to reverse the place structure since the shape metaphor is one of the major uses of tarmi in lujvo, bith present and future. Does this track with the other tai based lujvo? I'll look at your comments in more detail later. lojbab
