In the case of ve'a and ze'a, I don't think the Book disagrees with me. In the case of va and za, the Book has a different interpretation for the tagged sumti: the origin of the displacement, rather than its magnitude. This is unnecessary, because the origin can already be tagged with PU and FAhA. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ------------------------ Yahoo!
