That's not really how {lo} works. Its veridicality is less important than its indefiniteness. I think someone using {lo cevni} = "some god", would get across a different meaning, much less absolutist. Even {lo pa cevni} doesn't quite do it. In English a Christian can say and believe to be true something like "at least one god created the universe", but it is unlikely that they would choose to put it that way. Just the same effect is obtained with {lo}. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a NextCard Visa, in 30 seconds! 1.
