The first is "They differ in bigness (in the usual whatever >dimension)" To me it requires that they both have the property {le ka ce'u barda}. The second one also requires that both have the te frica as property, but one has {le ka ce'u ja'a barda} and the other {le ka ce'u na barda}. So the two sentences have different meanings. >There is also the ever popular "in how big they are" >{le du'u [I think, maybe {nu}] makau ni ce'u barda}. I know you don't like >this {ni}, but I don't understand any other one, and it fits nicely here as >does "in size" (le ni ce'u barda}. Each would be acceptable to me, but not both. They correspond to the two most common meanings {ni} has. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
