That's odd - I considered that extraneous, and wanted to use a separate predicate for "price". But I suppose "to sell" does inherently include the price, especially since in English we can include the price with just the preposition "for". Going to four places would require more pinvor that refer to places. Perhaps we'd use be/ce/de instead of be/ge. The f-series could easily include "fo". -- Rob Speer
