If you don't believe that you can own a pet, that's okay, that just means "la clalis ponse lo mlatu na'e bo la aionys" :-)(in any case, you're okay here, because "se dalpe'o" works, too.--gejyspa
I think the relationship between a pet and it's caretaker is a unique bond that has similarities to the relationship between a person and his friends, and boss and her subordinates, and a person and his property, but is not truly the same as any of these. But that's not really important, as it's a philosophical opinion and we're discussing grammar.I agree. You're the one that said you didn't want to use "ponse" because of your philosophy. I merely point out that the te ponse enables you to limit the universe of who recognizes this ownership. In the eyes of the majority of cultures and governments, you can ponse lo dalpe'o. In some cultures, you can ponse lo gunka. In some, you can ponse lo fetspe, and in some, you can ponse lo panzi. But like I said, you can use "se dalpe'o", be uncontroversial and true to your philosophy.--gejyspa
Hooray for uncontroversial!
So, back to the pending changes list, it looks like everything is taken care of now except for the elaboration on .xorxes. opinion that "lo se nanca" in {lo mi'a tixnu cu zmadu lo mi'a bersa lo se nanca li vo} in panel #72 doesn't make sense, and I'd also like to get more people's input on {lo vi mlatu cu barda fi lo vu mlatu} vs. {lo vi mlatu cu bramau fi lo vu mlatu} (and by extension, {lo vu mlatu cu cmalu fi lo vi mlatu} vs. {lo vu mlatu cu cmamau fi lo vi mlatu}) in panel #31.
Perhaps someone else that shares .xorxes.' view would care to proffer an explanation? I'm sure I'm not the only person here who'd like to get the corrected comic out as soon as possible.
