I am confused by 'pa lei' - it seems to me to mean 'one of the- mass(es)-of' - in other words, the whole mass, taken once. I think that once you have massified by 'lei', you need 'pi' to pick out part of the mass again - but there is no obviously appropriate number. I wonder why you are massifying at all? 'pa le li'o tricu' would work. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Colin Fine 66 High Ash, Shipley, W Yorks.
