But we can refine the other end. Going to www.african-lion.org, I find a table of lion populations by African region and by country. Central Africa has 400 lions, West Africa has 500, Central Africa has 8800, Southern Africa has 8200. (These are 1999 minima.) So on my view we cannot say that lo'e cinfo lives in any of these regions, but if we construct a dvandva compound, Central+Southern Africa, we can say that lo'e cinfo lives there.
Whats {dvandva}? Did you mean {dvadva}?
Can we say that lo'e cinfo is present in West Africa, even
if it doesn't live there? It seems to me that you're giving
{lo'e} a statistical rather than generic meaning. Certainly in
English we would say that the Lion lives in West Africa as well
as living in Central Africa and in Southern Africa.
With people, who live everywhere, blurring the differences between ro lo remna into lo'e remna leaves us with no particular continent left.
If lo'e cinfo lives in Central+Southern Africa and not in West Africa, doesn't lo'e remna live in Eurasia and not in Australia?
> "Man has a nonretractible penis" Rather than saying that lo'e remna se nakpinji lo -nonretractible, I would say that lo'e remna nakpinji cu -nonretractible, or that lo'e remna poi se nakpinji cu -nonretractible.
The second ones says that humans with a penis are themselves nonretractible, which I suppose is true too. :) mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
