How is {nui...nuu} working here?
What is the intent of {cuuku}?

Does cpina have x3?

Couldn't understand this jufra.

That's unlikely. More likely, koa se cmene zo rob rois, iepei?

{ca} - to me it means the film was on while you were writing, right?
You saw it on the coach to Manchester, not on the plane to Rome? Then
why {nohi}?

Germans and Italians are especially reprehensible in this respect.

"J.L. is made to perform in order that there be the property that her
sexuality seems mature and necessarily very different from the property,
having to do with your average breathy speech, that there be sexuality."
????????????????

Ontologically dubious. {ca le pa no pie vo mu moi} is truer.

Can a carce be se bebna? Weird.
