Reaction? > Okay. The series approach is going to be easier to maintain than inventing a brand new word for every logical connective. But I liked the k-series better. 'And' is going to be a very common connective, and "snan" is...um...a bit rough on the tongue. I also think we may need different levels of connecting hyphens...Some stickier or with broader scope than others. Or again, "sa" to say 'let's pause a moment and gather everything up'. Did we ever decide whether "sa" wraps up everything including all preceding "sa" clauses, or just everything since the previous "sa" in the sentence? Somewhat related topic: Have we ever decided whether multiple modifiers on a headword all apply to the headword, or would the first modifier modify the second modifier, and so on? --K
