Does {re roi la uenzdix klama} mean "go twice on Wednesday"? You want {re roi ci djedi ku klama} to mean "go twice on each of 3 days", so the going occurs over 3 days, six goings in all. Whereas, standardly it means "go twice, each going occuring on three days, = 6 days' worth of going, with two goings in all. I don't really see why the nonstandard interp is so much better than the standard that it justifies its deviancy. --And.
