I think that 3 (with 2) of course is the crucial part, so just a good >surprise mark ought to do in most situations. Maybe strategically placed: >{le >mlatu ue cu gasnu} I think 1 is very important too, but that is covered by {ji'a}, so {le mlatu ji'a ue} is a possibility. But what bothers me about {ue} is that it is not quite that. Otherwise things like "I'm not surprized that even the cat is doing it", or "as everyone expected, even the cat is doing it", should not make any sense, but they do. It is not the speaker who is surprized, nor anyone else, although it does have to do with something being somehow extraordinary. I think it is some kind of extreme. Maybe {ji'acai}? co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free @Backup service!
