xorxes: <<pc: >you might even be allowed {le do zo zo'u}). It doesn't parse. You can make it {le do me zo zo'u}, or, weird but possible, {le do pa zo zo'u}.>>Thanks. I can't get this rule straight. I suppose that the problem here is that {le} absorbs {do} into a new LE. Does it absorb {pu} and {vi} as well?
I don't think that's how it works. You can insert {do} into {le me zo zo'u} or into {le pa zo zo'u}, but you cannot insert it into {le zo zo'u} because this is not a well formed sumti. At least that's how I picture it. You can't say that {le} absorbs {do} into a new LE, because in that case the new LE would absorb {zo zo'u} into yet another LE. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
