How do you like the word "pyu" for "more," (from Italian) and therefore "pyur" for "most"? I coin "pyur" so as to be able to have a 'most' morpheme to make words like 'favorite.' Or do we need this? Is maybe 'pyu' all we need. Go pyu ga cem zi. Go pyu ga cem kul. (I'm the biggest.) Go popyu ga cem zi. Go popyu ga cem kul. (I'm the least big) Another possibility is "zwey" for 'most' from Mandarin, and maybe "zwi" as a back-formation meaning 'more.' -- Rex F.
