Ohh, yes, of course. That's a large part of my confusion,
getting those mixed up.

What if I wanted to add internal sumti to the tertau in an
inverted tanru? Could I do it?

zdani be mi co melbi le speni be mi


OK... (house-of-me)-ish beautiful to-(spouse-of-me)  ??
Myhousefully-beautiful to spouse-of-me?

Hmm. Does this amount to an observative {zdani} with some
decoration??

If we add {ta}...

  ta zdani be mi co melbi le speni be mi

That is a my-house-ish type-of beautiful to-(my-spouse) ??

Is this saying something like "That is my house, and it is
beautiful to my spouse"?

Could I say (without inversion):
   - ta zdani be mi be'o cu melbi le speni be mi
or even
   - ta zdani be mi cu melbi le speni be mi
or how about
   - ta mi zdani cu melbi le speni be mi

I wanted to omit the {be} after {speni}... but it
won't omit, will it?

Thanks,
Hal
