[GREGORY DYKE <gregory.dyke@epfl.ch>]

Hi list,
  
As I think I explained to Bob previously:

ro le cribe cu ponse pa ... ==
roda voi cribe zo'u da cu ponse pa ... ==
le cribe poi pamoi cu ponse pa ... ije
le cribe poi remoi cu ponse pa ... ije
li'o ije
le cribe poi nymoi cu ponse pa ...

This is explained in one of the chapters of CLL, to explain why "lei prenu cu [carry the piano]", means that they carried it together, while "le prenu cu [carry the pioano]" means they each carried it individually
