So it would follow that {pa fi'u re lei pa no no > broda} should mean "one out of every two of the hundred broda", and > then so should "pi mu lei pa no no broda". Right, you wouldn't admit fractions of broda at all, just fractions of numbers of broda. But it is very hard to not interpret {pa pi mu lo plise} as one and a half apples. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
