In that case, {lo na'e broda} would > be equivalent to {na'ebo ro broda}. Formally, yes. But na'e always involves a scale of some sort, so a dog would be an unlikely candidate for "na'ebo lo gerku" because dogs are not obviously on a scale, not even a qualitative one. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan You tollerday donsk?
