Why >not {zo'e} or some other KOhA? You use {da} when you want to use a quantifier. You can't distiguish between {su'o da}, {so'i da}, {ro da}, etc with {zo'e}. In fact, the main function of {da} is to give substance to quantifiers. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
