(Unfortunately, the vowels don't help.) Let's call it {xei}, then: mi rexei tcidu I read a second time mi muxei tcidu I read a fifth time mi su'oxei tcidu I read again mi so'ixei tcidu I read for the umpteenth time mi roxei tcidu I read for the last time etc. As with {roi}, these would refer to the second, fifth, whateverth time in the interval (specified or not). >++++ I had been thinking that 'krefu' was the best answer, and I still think it's a good one. But these have a certain attraction. You missed the one that started it, mi su'ipaxei tcidu But I'm not sure that this merits a cmavo to itself. I think I would express this by something like ..i su'ipamoi nu mi tcidu (something is) the +1'th event of my reading. Colin
