For example I think we decided to use lo'e in "I want a boat": mi djica lo'e bloti; where you can't say lo bloti because that would refer to a particular boat or boats. Don't be confused by the negative connotations of "stereotype" in English. ____ Chris Bogart \ / http://www.quetzal.com Boulder, CO \/ cbogart@quetzal.com
