Yeah, that is what i meant. I know {la} doesn't mean "the", but more
like "next-up: a name"
I was just trying to say that as it is the statement {la cipni cu
prami la mlatu} leaves alot of questions open...
On the other hand it seems i tend to forget the following, a wedding
ring engraved with
{la cipni cu ze'e prami la mlatu}
and another engraved with
{la mlatu cu ze'e prami la cipni}
pretty much adds a whole lot of context. so i guess even if only this
sentence fits inside the rings, it would still be selfdesprict, since
if you knew what a wedding ring is you could easily assume that the
wearer is the person who loves the loved one.

But when written down on the internet, it doesn't sound like much.

Oh and, if you use gismu as a name, to form a valid sentence, do you
need to put a full stop there {la cipni. cu prami}? Or is {la cipni cu
prami} fine too? Or is it even {la .cipni. cu prami}?
