Any ideas? {le plini cu mulcarna paroi ro mentu} is correct. {ro da poi mentu zo'u le plini cu mulcarna paroi da} is also correct but sounds funny; if {le} were replaced with {lo} in both sentences, the second would mean "For every minute, there is a planet that completes a turn during it," whereas the first would mean "There is a planet that completes a turn every minute." phma ------------------------ Yahoo!
