It's correct, it's just that I wouldn't talk in terms of sets. (BTW, the {ro}s are not wrong, but confuse the issue, since there is only one of each set, maybe you meant {lo'i ro glezdi}, which is also not needed because {ro} is the default.) You could have said: {naku ro nungle cu gledzi}, or {su'o nungle na gledzi}, which are a bit more explicit. Or maybe you meant {su'o glezdi na nungle}? Or both? {naku roda glezdi gi'o nungle}. I would avoid sets and {du}, but that's just my prejudice. > People have learnt {du'u} and {du}. You can't go round messing with > that. Allowing, say, {duo} as an allomorph of {du'u} would be better. I wasn't really really serious with that suggestion (only somewhat really serious), but I doubt that learning an allomorph would be any easier. It's enough that we have to learn a lot of double rafsi, I don't really want double cmavo on top of that. > > > > > Au se jdacku duu paa loe nu ro dakxai loi terplixa cu binxo ku > > > > > dibzma loe catrytci fa loe valsi fe jia rahunai juocui ro nae glezdi. > > > > oi oi oi do nelci le nu nadgau i do djica le nu cu'u lo'e jdaselcku > > > > lo'e valsi lo'e catrytci cu zmadu le ka dirba i xu go'i > > > jaa > > > > i ji'a ju'ocu'i vy zmadu ro da poi zdile gi'enai nungle > > > pehi do cumki srera .i coe ro da poi na ge zdile gi nungle > > > i ie ie i ku'i sera'a le'e na zdile cu ckise'i > > kui ro lohi glezdi ro lohi nungle na du i go'i i ku'i mi pu cusku le du'u lo'e valsi cu zmadu ro da poi zdile gi'enai nungle i ckise'i fa le du'u vy zmadu ro da poi na zdile gi'u nungle co'o mi'e xorxes
