Ok, let me change it to: ro lo prenu ku goi ko'a cu prami ko'a > So I belive {ko'a} becomes > {lo prenu}, not {ro lo prenu}, I don't think this is a good idea, because then you would be saying that in {ro lo prenu} there is a remnant of the default quantifier for {lo} that was not superceded by {ro}. I don't think {ko'a} can be used as a variable taking different values in the same position like {da}. Jorge
