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 cbnake
Hmm. I'm not entirely happy with that, but I'll wait and see. Maybe I change my mind.
le fe smo'e la nnca nmpeka
Okay, but isn't that a bit weird? Suppose something is two years long, then that event isn't two things that are each years, it's *as long as* one thing that is two years long.
la nnca nmra'aka ? I'm two years.But a person can't be a year... Do I misunderstand the numeric predicates? Right now it just seems like a type error. It's like saying "I am two tables", except it seems even worse. Please explain.
