Yes there is. For example: {lei bolci cu se culno le baktu ijenai su'o le bolci cu se culno le baktu}.

It all depends on how you define the sum, of course. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
