There's nothing actually wrong with 'bepreja', which is just 'be preja' written without the space - it's just not a compound. Incidentally - I find this quite interesting - spaces are entirely redundant in Ceqli. Words begin with a glottal stop/pause or a consonant, no matter what. Accents are redundant in the same way. Not that there's anything wrong with this redundancy - it should aid comprehension. -- Rob Speer
