Well, presumably the answer -- at least the correct answer -- = is a fact, even though it is only referred to, not spelled out (cf. the Bat= tle of Waterloo and 'nu').

Of course, if you are outlining the steps of f= inding an answer, "pu'u" would be more specific than "nu". Also, are = you really discovering the answer or just looking for one? In that ca= se, "sisku" might be better than "facki". Also, Pierre, formally speaking, = the X2 of facki is a fact (du'u). Not 100% sure "lo danfu" belongs there, a= lthough I suppose it could be.

I would say "(nu) facki lo danfu". mi facki le danfu le preti = =3D I find the
answer to the question.

In general, I think that titles (of sections= , books, etc.) should be brivla or
selbri ("preti" and "nu preti" are bo= th selbri). Of course, some titles are
proper nouns, and should be rende= red as sumti.

By the way, it's "reirbroda". "reibroda" falls apart. You could alsosay "comrei", "reidza", and a few others.
