de



I'm realizing more and more the usefulness of "de."  For example, the
'coverb' situation's ambiguity as in:

Go zu krayon gra pwey.   I use pencil write letter.

can be made totally clear thus:

Go zu krayon de gra pwey.

And we can even make an instrumental case, sort of:

Go krayonzu de gra pwey.
