The >result wanted would require something like {piro le remei cu tatpi}. I disagree with both statements. Starting with the second, {le remei} and {piro le remei} refer to the same thing: the pair as a whole. To claim something for each member we can use {ro lu'a le remei}. The Book says that the default for {lei} is {pisu'o} instead of {piro} (which would be the correct default) but this does not apply in this case since the gadri we're using is {le}. {le remei} is the pair, not some part of the pair. As for the first claim, it is based on the wrong idea that properties of the members are automatically properties of the mass. This is clearly not so for many properties, and I don't see why one member being tired should make the pair tired. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
