Only 4-letter rafsi are sure bets as a base for fu'ivla. I don't even think of it in terms of rafsi but as a gismu with something else inserted, for example klan( )i. That's why I use the final vowel of the gismu when the borrowed word does not end in one. {resrvarano} works, but I would have made it {resprvarana}. co'o mi'e xorxes ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
