You can transform sentences like "mi prami do" into "lo ka ce'u prami ce'u cu ckaji mi ce'o do", and so on for any number of places. The x2 places of bridi, gismu, ciste, sanji, ciksi, and the x4 of girzu can accept ka's with any number of ce'u spots. The x3 of ckini *demands* a 2-ce'u ka. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org Please leave your values | Check your assumptions.
