Re: [Ladekwa] Changes to Ladekwa



Oops again. I forgot to focus the verb! And I haven't read Rick's line, that told me to do so. Sorry!
Bye,

I think you mean "bovica" for the verb root.  You also have to focus it,
because activities are unfocused by default.  Thus, you want to use
"bovicanzi".

 Bovicanzi lujazopumbomi vyukoy jikay.
 = "WINNERS hand-write the history".

However, I would prefer:

 Vicanzi lujazopumbomi vyukoy jikay.
 = "WINNERS write the history".


I forgot to focus the verb, too.  What does "vyukoy" mean?
