Can you tell me how that works with, say, "da klama de di mi do" ?



Why wouldn't it just be something like

A isa klama-instance
A first-sumti B
A second-sumti C
A third-sumti D
A fourth-sumti E
A fifth-sumti F

B isa KOhA
B ID #1 (da)

C isa KOhA
C ID #2 (de)

etc. (I'm still not sure about the KOhA things, and how you distinguish
da/de/di from mi/do, but...)

Simplified :

A isa tavla-instance
A first-sumti B
A second-sumti C

B isa KOhA
B ID #1 (da)

C isa KOhA
C ID #2 (de)

A isa tesete-tavla-instance
A first-sumti B
A second-sumti D

D isa KOhA
D ID #3 (di)

A isa veseve-tavla-instance
A first-sumti B
A second-sumti E

E isa KOhA
E ID #4 (mi)

A isa xesexe-tavla-instance
A first-sumti B
A second-sumti F

F isa KOhA
F ID #5 (do)

Quite verbose, but it works.

Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide.
