I'm so sorry!  I was full of shit.  I'd totally forgotten that JOI
could do that.

 

  Don't be so hard on yourself.  I just figured you were expressing your opinion (wrongheaded as it was ;-) )

 

Your sentence was: ryjy mo fa'u mo lo cifnu ku fa'u do

Aaaah.  Took me a bit.  "What is RJ to the babies, and what is he to
you?".  I like it, it's clever.  Perhaps *too* clever, but :)

 

   Just don't like to waste words.  I wanted to ask two questions, so a single "mo" wouldn't cut it, unlike the English idiom ("So, what's RJ's relationship to you and the babies?"), since obviously his relationship to YOU isn't the same as his relationship to the babies.
