Sure! le pu'u facki cu ve klama fe le te facki The x3 of {tolcri} is of course the place where the thing is found: mi tolcri lo sfani le stasu "I found a fly in the soup." {facki} is not strictly for finding things, but finding out about things: mi facki le du'u lo sfani cu nenri le stasu kei le stasu "I found out about the soup that there was a fly in it." The place structure of {facki} is very inconvenient for the basic meaning of "find". co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
