And viska3 is ... lame. Of course, {snaga'e} and {jviga'e} are usable for a regular structure, no? I think the real problem here is that a keyword like "taste" can give the wrong impression. Unlike "sound" and "to hear", "taste" in english can mean both. > sance - tirna > tengu - te'urga'e > panci - sumne > jvinu - viska > vrusi - vu'irga'e Someone outta put these into learning materials somewhere. ;P For structures which all match in the right column we can also have: sance - snaga'e tengu - tegyga'e panci - panga'e jvinu - vinga'e vrusi - vusyga'e Of course; the gismu which fill some of your right-hand column are still useful for their rafsi. Regarding the structure: .i pe'ipei zo vu'irga'e zo'u ko'a ganse ko'e noi se vrusi ko'i Maybe with a ko'o ko'u for ganse3-4; but I'd rather elim. it as an irrelevant place (ji'a you can get them with {ta'i} and {va'o}). > I'm not sure {pencu} really belongs there. I agree; it's the same keyword thing again too. *mumbles about how we need more definition info for gismu* --=20 Jordan DeLong - fracture@allusion.net lu zo'o loi censa bakni cu terzba le zaltapla poi xagrai li'u sei la mark. tuen. cusku --zhXaljGHf11kAtnf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline [Attachment content not displayed.] --zhXaljGHf11kAtnf--
