The last component of a lujvo is special in one respect, the x1 place of the lujvo will correspond with the x1 place of the last component. That is not really a prescriptive rule as much as a descriptive one. It would be interesting to see if there are exceptions. That is why I think for example that a lujvo that means "drowns" can't possibly end in -mro, because {morsi} means "dead" not "dies", so even though the ideas are certainly related, the actual meaning of the word is important. The lujvo in -mro could mean "drowned", but not "drowns". "Becomes dead" can't be {binxymorsi}, it has to be {morsybinxo}. Are these really totally unfounded rules? co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
