Hm. Well is there anything grammatically wrong with =A0{ l= e pa palku }? How would you interpret it? Is there any other use for this c= onstruct?

=A0{ le pa moi palku } just seems a bit long.<= div>

I guess to be explicitly naming, I could say:

{ la papalku } "(My pants named) one-pant"
{ l= a palkupa } "(My pants named) pant-one"

how you are ordering it (e.g. "chronologically by the time/date I'= m
