I would agree that "talking" is that, what is
"beautiful". No matter whether we consider {la tam.
melbi tavla la meris.} or {la meris. melbi se tavla la
tam.}. I like such interpretation, because there I can
see a system. However, in reference crammer {la meris.
melbi se tavla la tam.} has been translated as {Mary
is a beautiful-audience for Tom.}.
