Does anyone else remember? Most likely it was me, I did say it a few times. One reason is that since all indirect questions take {kau}, I like to make the yes/no indirect question with {kau} as well. The other reason is that {jei} is defined to produce the truth value of the claim. It hasn't been used with that sense as far as I know, but that is how it is defined. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
