Re: ramcitri

Hi Michael,

Beginner questions....

> lebi'u

I can't find this word, or the rafsi to make it up....help?  What does it
mean, where is it documented, or is it a new lujvo?


> .ini'inaibo

Lost....help?


> .i na'onai ku ga'uve'u tolylau tirna pale vinji jenmi
> (Sometimes i hear one of the airforce planes, way up high.)

My attempt at literal: Atypically, <ku> way up above, very-quiet hear
<pale--plane?> plane <jemni--Air Force?>

How are you specifying that it is you that heard?  How do we know which word
is the brivla?  Why have a "ku" where it is (I thought it ended a sumti)?


> .i na viska

Again, I am not sure how we know YOU don't see them.  Is it by context?  I
would have said:

.i na mi viska tu


> .i fu'eda'i batcinki ku'i vi (Possibly, it's a

Literal: Considering the matter, it's possibly a biting insect however,
somewhere nearby.

And the mountain for the whole of time to come <le mo'u pu'u>

I don't get mo'u pu'u.  Explain?


Thanks for the post, it's nice!
