I think it may depend on the nature of {broda} and the relation to {klama}. If {broda} is adverbial, then the thing that is {broda} is probably something like {le nu klama}, and so on. When I wrote that before, I think I had such cases in mind. But the ones I was mainly focusing on were ones like {cmalu xanto} where the object that is the {cmalu} cannot be isolated from the {xanto}, without problems; that is, the broda does have its places filled implicitly but not in isolation. I took the isolation claim to be the likely next step in your reasoning and wanted to stop it beforehand. --part1_16c.8f0d896.299fcc77_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit In a message dated 2/15/2002 11:03:43 PM Central Standard Time, thanatos@dim.com writes:
