In fact, I have been using {ji'a} for this for a long time, but now I think {ji'acai} is better. >It is interesting though, that according to my Turkish friend they have >a word which is the exact analogue of this meaning of our word >"even". I would expect all languages would be able to express it one way or another. It is not such a far fetched notion. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
