Yes, but {lei prenu} rather than {loi prenu}. Any individual person, any pair, any threesome, can instantiate {loi prenu}. That says "Some people, united, can never be defeated", not what we mean. {ka'enai} is not grammatical officially, but it has wide usage support. John's {ginai ka'e} alternative is good too. The causal relationship has to be groked from context, I suppose. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
