Thanks for the advice, but I already had that idea, if you mean {fe le
zu'o...}.  If you mean {fi}, I'm not sure how an activity can be the author
of an idea.  Or is the {be} wrong ans this is the source whence I should get
the idea.  It was that, by the way.
{le glico} means the English something, since it goes on to discuss
something, I assumed it was animate and probably human -- not an unreasonable
reading, I think (although I knew you meant the sentence, but since you
regularly do not even bother to read my text carefully, I thought I would
return the favor by reading yours very carefully indeed. There are several
versions of Strawman.) I am amused that you are amusingly interested in a
translation talking, I should have been astonished myself.  What, by the bye,
are both of these translations of (it must be the same thing for the
differences to be interesting) ?  And what is it that each of them discusses?
 They seem to be about the same things, pregnants and women, as I recall.
