I think also blinking is normally done with both eyes, winking with one. >So, "wink" ought to be an extension of >"blink" to show the meaning. Winking, unlike blinking, is not a basic >action >(I think). But it fits better with kick, step, bend, stretch in that it is intentional. Blinking is more like breathing, or having a tic, something that you normally do unconsciously. >I don't get {kalgaifri} "eyelid experience" for "blink" -- what is the >metaphor involved (or the rule being used)? Just emphasizing that it is not something one does with volition. It can be seen as something experienced rather than acted (English doesn't do it this way, but I'm sure some languages must). {lifri tu'a lei kalgai be vo'a}, experience the action that involves one's eyelids. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
