Yes, I know.  I got "be" and "po" mixed up momentarily.

This is unobvious enough that it should be documented
in the grammar, I think.

That makes sense.  Yes, I reckon we need distinct
"arrive/leave" vs. "enter/exit".  But maybe "staho",
as you suggest, might replace "sila" and "postaho"
replace "sali"...

Neat illustration.

It could use a couple of links -- say, back to the
main page, and to the tceqli-English glossary.

Also, I think it would look better formatted with <p>
tags instead of so many <br> tags.

Here it is with suggested reformatting and one
additional paragraph:


<p>
gataympa, tri balu dwel pisa dom hu dan gasa bawmgu.
beo pa bi pamo balu, pami balu, kay pisa balubin.
do tu dey, pamizo tayarfa tri diwalisi dalya hu ben to
balu famli.   kaybya doke beo komtray deo, deo tro kyar!
tcofa,  beo cwa gi pawdja hu dan bawmgu.


<p>
