For brivla, i can often look it up in the core word list. But for cmavo, it's hard to find what they mean. I'm not sure what are "lai", "zi'o", "so'i", "le'e", "ca", "lei". The one example i can most easily understand is "lai braun lanzu mi" is lai some kind of "la"? How do one say "this is my family" (pointing to a photo of me and my parents & siblings) "ti lanzu mi" ? (which means "i'm a member of this family".) Xah xah@xahlee.org http://xahlee.org/PageTwo_dir/more.html ------------------ On Mar 24, 2004, at 2:14 PM, la_okus wrote: mi se lanzu lai braun.
