So, obviously la djan. must be an x1 of nanla for the statement to be true. My question is: does he also need to be an x1 of gleki for the statement to be true, or is it just assumed by convention that sumti filling the x1 of the tertau is also filling the x1 of the seltau?
The official answer is that there is no official answer: tanru, Humptywise, mean what the speaker wants them to mean. This interpretation (called "parallel" in the Book) is a pretty likely one, but it is not inconceivable that "gleki nanla" means not "boy who is happy" but "boy whose age is happy". -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@reutershealth.com> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
