Didn't want to make a new thread for this, and this is about time stuff.First of all, what is the shortest way to get the equivalent of "ca lo nu broda cu brode"? It seems all my solutions end up having cbn- all the way to the right, which is a monstrous forethought. I assume there is a more human-readable form than this:
la fa smo'e le fe smo'e cbnakeIf the formulae before cbnake are very long, this becomes very hard to track in real-time, not to mention it's not very stylish in literature.
The other question is about numbers that fill places like nanca2. I don't think
le fe smo'e la nmpa nncekamakes much sense. It means "Some event E, something that is one, such that E is one thing years long." or something like that.
So how would you say "Event E is one/two years long"? la nnca le nmpeka seems wrong too.
