Re: FA [KU]
Veijo asks about FA [KU].
It's true that this is of no great use in a bridi, but then neither is
"FA zo'e", which means about the same thing. Where it is useful is
in answering "fi'a" questions, thus:
fi'a do dunda le rozgu
[what relation] you give with-gift-the rose
What place of "dunda" is occupied by "do" when the gift is the rose?
Are you the giver of the rose or its recipient?
The proper reply would be "fa [ku]" if you are the giver, or "fi [ku]" if
you are the recipient, and these are grammatical utterances, specifically
utterances consisting of a single <term>.
