I prefer something like: ze'a ro cacra le karce cu ki'otre li panono le ni litru During each hour, the car is 100 km in amount of travel. Which could then be tanruized as: le karce ca'o rolcacra ki'otre li panono The car is doing 100 "each-hour type of kilometers". I would not go to a lujvo from there, so as to keep the rol- units separate from the rest. So, {rolsnidu mitre} would be "meters per second". mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
