>> What would a "new infant" be other than "a just created person"? > >Maybe a "new lion"? I thought you were being metaphorical. :) >cinfo = lion; cifnu = infant Or, ignoring that problem, you can ask le cifnu cu cnino ma ma ma You might want citrai (superlatively young) for a new-born infant. If people don't like my using slabu for old = aged, then they shouldn't like using cnino = newborn. lojbab
