This is of the seventeen-tallest-men type. Only one of the expressions is romoi. The other six are da'amoi, da'aremoi, da'acimoi, da'avomoi, da'amumoi and da'axamoi. They are all ma'uda'azemoi. So it should be {le ma'uda'azemoi selsku be la iecus}. Or perhaps you did mean {zeromoi}. Would it be useful/sensible to define {zero}={ma'uda'aze}? http://nuzban.wiw.org/wiki/index.php?The%2017%20tallest%20men >doi papap ko fraxu ta iki'ubo ta na djuno le du'u ta gasnu makau >OR >doi papap ko fraxu ta iki'ubo ta na jimpe le se gasnu be ta I swear that my first take on {papap}, before knowing what this was about, was "why is he addressing the number 11?" What's wrong with {doi patfu} or {doi paf}? >doi ninmu ta ca'e bersa do I think I prefer {ta do bersa ca'e}. >ti ba'o mulno What is {ti}? (I was about to make a comment on the speaker's difficult position for point at anything, but I better not.) Why not just {ba'o mulno}? >doi papap fi ledo xance fa mi lacri dunda lemi pruxi I would have said {punji} instead of {dunda}. I take it that placing on someone's hand can be symbolic of giving, but giving to the hand seems like too much. Or maybe not, I don't know. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.
