That's by definition the same as {ko'a pu zbasu ci lo zgike cukla}. {ko'a pu zbasu le ci zgike cukla} means that he made the three CDs, i.e he made all of the three CDs under discussion. In all cases we are talking about making the CDs out of plastic, or whatever material they're made of. If you mean that he recorded three CDs, then something like {rejgau} should be used. >{le briju pe mi gunka ke'a cu ponse le samta'a ciste} > >The office where I work has a computer-talking system Use {poi} instead of {pe} there. {poi} is for relative clauses, {pe} is used to attach another sumti. co'o mi'e xorxes
