That would pull so'a out of the so'V series. For the other members, the meaning is as in {so'u ci} = "3 which are few", {so'e ci} = "3 which are most", so I would say {so'a ci} = "3 which are almost all". {ji'i ci} is "about 3". Maybe {za'uru'e ci} for "just over 3" and {me'iru'e ci} for "just under 3". I have used {za'usai ci} for "much more than three". mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
