But something _is_ thrown out! We could no longer use {le ka le mamta be ce'u cu melbi} for "the property of having a beautiful mother". That's the main reason I don't want to take {le mamta be ce'u} as a function. There's also the less important matter, but still significant, that while you get ^xf(x), there's no equivalent way of getting ^xf(g(x)). It just wouldn't fit with the rest of the language if ce'u had no prenex to hang from, and {le} does not provide one. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
