Oh, the Chinese are doing it the pretty common and old-fashioned way:  

       (bu2 dan4/
jin3 ... er2 qie3 - bu dann/jiin ... erl chyee) which is
"not only ...           and/but moreover" almost like in Lojban
{gi'epo'onai lo'e ratcu giji'a lo'e mlatu cu citka lo rectu}!
for example: (bu jin shi xiaohai erqie da ren ye genzhe yiqi wan):

Not only
the kids but also the grown-ups/adults shared in playing.

But does this "not only" bear any relationship to "only"? That is, would
"Only the children play" (I am flying blind here) start off with dan4/jin3
shi xiaohai ...?
