I still don't care for the double markers. One should be sufficient.

I think one will be sufficient in almost all cases.

deynazo sta to dom. go xaw deynazo.

but for a long, stringy name like "The national association of manufacturers,"

it's nice to have the option of bracketing it. Here I'm getting Loglanish, and

wanting to have the option of 100% disambiguation. But since it won't be

used all that much, I'm inclined not to waste a morpheme on the first

element, but just make it bezo.

Speaking of names, I've been thinking about latin scientific terms —

"homo

sapiens", for example. We've got to be able to use those in Ceqli.

Indeed,

they're about the only foreign words that really need to be used, I

think. Is

this a spot for another 'the' word?
Now, in my way of thinking, homo sapiens, canis familiaris, etc., are

NOT names

in any meaningful sense. So, I wouldn't want to use za...zo for them.

Some type of "here comes a foreign term" marker could be used. Sort of
like the way italics are used in print.
