But what does .ui do in a sentence? It means that your happiness is associated with that word. According to the proposed usage: .ui do klama My happiness is associated with you coming (I'm not saying whether or not you can and do come, though.) do .ui klama You come, and I am happy that YOU came. I support the proposal. I find it more elegant than the current system, which requires the difficult memorization of an arbitrary distinction. ----- We do not like And if a cat those Rs and Ds, needed a hat?
