It is not >{le >du'u ... ce'u ...} but rather the qualitative correlate of {le ni mi prami >do} (and not {le jei mi prami do} neither). That's what {su'u} has been proposed for, if not much used, as in "see how the three mice run!", {ko zgana le su'u le ci smacu cu bajra}. >The appropriate things to put >before {ka mi prmi do} are things like the Lojban for "madly, wildly, >deeply" >(take it, Michael!) or "wanly" or whatever is the property of my loving >thee >"How do I love thee," not "How much do I love thee" nor, as in the bad >jokes, >"In what ways do I love thee." Examples in Lojban would be useful. Adverbs are not Lojban's strong point. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
