That probably says too little, it only says that at least some event of knowing is an event of being powerful. The maxim claims more than that. {ro nu djuno cu nu vlipa} sounds too strong, so I would go with {lo'e nu djuno cu nu vlipa}. Now, that still does not say that the one with the power is the one with the knowledge. It may also be that the one who is known about is the one with the power (which is not even all that far fetched, come to think about it). So if you want to be more precise: {lo'e nu da djuno cu nu da vlipa}. Or we can simplify it to: {lo'e djuno cu vlipa}. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
