It's also pretty sad that there's no analogue to cusku with a subject place i.e. expression on a topic. cusku requires actual *text* in the second place, which just blows my mind; I can't think of any reason for that. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin. .i le pamoi velru'e zo'u crepu le plibu taxfu .i le remoi velru'e zo'u mo .i le cimoi velru'e zo'u ba'e prali .uisai http://www.lojban.org/ *** to sa'a cu'u lei pibyta'u cridrnoma toi
