A group of words, however, > is not a word: {lei so'o valsi cu valsi so'omei gi'enai valsi} {le so'o valsi cu valsi}. Am I wrong stating that this distinction (le/lei) doesn't really work? {le so'o valsi} means: *all* of the several discribed as words, not *each*, so it's plural too. (ro le su'o -> ro le so'o). Hence: {le so'o valsi cu ca'a valsi so'omei gi'enai - pa - valsi} .aulun.
