Happy to bring you a bit of cheer. Happier if it gets yo= u with the program (which I gather it didn't).

Although xorxes and John Clifford seem to understan= d my point (whether or not they agree), I am least happy that I am formulat= ing my POV in a comprehensible manner. And yet, here I am being sucke= d in again, because you refuse to leave it go.

"all of the trained assassins" (ro lo broda), given no context, can mean one thousand (ki'o lo broda) or none (no lo broda) or else. In
any case, it refers to "the trained assassins" (lo broda), something
-- not nothing, not nomei.

Then I leave you wi= th a question. If broda =3D "the trained assassins that I am sending = your way", Then "no lo xo broda"? If you insist I can only send you z= ero OF some trained assassins, then how many assassins am I sending you non= e OF? Please quanitfy that number for me. For whether you know = the answer or not (or indeed, whether one CAN know what the answer is= or not), there must be some answer to it. You can always state an in= ner and outer qualifier.
