Hopefully nowhere! ko'a tcidu le ko'a cukta pa'aku They read their book(s) in parallel to doing something else. {pa'aku} can't really mean "respectively" as far as I can see. I think it was never settled what these mean: la djan e la meris cu tcidu le vo'a cukta le re prenu cu tcidu le vo'a cukta i.e., when a prosumti refers to several things not massified, how do we interpret it? Is the first one: la djan tcidu le vo'a cukta ije la meris tcidu le vo'a cukta or is it: la djan tcidu le cukta pe la djan e la meris ije la meris tcidu le cukta pe la djan e la meris ? It doesn't make sense to worry about how to say "respectively" before we know what the basic case means. Maybe it already means "respectively" on its own. That's my preference. co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
