I could just use your ya (/Za/ in current Ceqli)! But if it's a suffix, which I think (and evidently you think) is the best way to go, it needs to be a fricative so as to fit after lmnqraeiou. And since 'se' is now freed up, it seems to be the best choice. Trouble with 'ti' is that it doesn't allow for names to become parts of compounds. Ti fordu, but Ti fordutomo, then, would still be a name, and 'a Ford' isn't really a proper name at all as I see it. Or it shouldn't be. So, japanse means 'Japan' in its widest sense, country, people, language, customs, etc., and I guess if you say 'go duel japanse' it probably means the country, go japanse sa pauja, means I walk in a japanese fashion, go bol japanse means I speak Japanese, etc. and then we have compound words so as to be clearer. japansehaim, japansebol, etc. -- Rex F.
