Is it possible? Parser doesn't like it (I guess it doesn't think du is a selbri). Is this legal sumti? Is it gendra? 2) I tried to find a word for "set", and the closest I could find were te porsi (which implies that the set has some ordering relation defined) and se cmima (which does not imply that the elements in x2 are the complete enumeration of x1's contents). Is there a better choice? 3) How does one say "any two of the man, the woman and the kid"? That is, how does one extract n elements from the ce-specified set? The best I could think of is "re lo cmima be le nanmu kuce le ninmu kuce le verba". Is there a way of doing it without cmima? Something with LU'A? I tried "re lu'a ny. ce ny. xire ce vy.", but parser won't allow that. Please? co'o mi'e. goran. P.S. BTW, And, yes, that ought to have been NItcion. I don't even know why I wrote the way I did... .uanai -- GAT/CS/O d?@ H s:-@ !g p1(2)@ !au(0?) a- w+(+++) (!)v-@(+) C++(++++) UU/H(+) P++>++++ L(>+) !3 E>++ N+ K(+) W--(---) M-- !V(--) -po+ Y(+) t+@(+++) !5 !j R+@ G-@(J++) tv+(++) b++@ D++ B? e+* u@ h!$ f?(+) r-- !n(+@) y+.
