So I belive {ko'a} becomes {lo prenu}, not {ro lo prenu}, and the whole sentense is equal to {ro lo prenu co prami lo prenu} expect that the second {lo prenu} refers to the same person as the first. Does it make sense? co'o mi'e. kir. -- Cyril Slobin `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, `it means just what I choose it to mean'
