Change it to: pisu'o lei broda = (piro) lu'o su'o lu'a le'i broda as you probably intended, and I agree with you. > In general: > > pi Q loi broda = (piro) lu'o Q lu'a lo'i broda > pi Q lei broda = (piro) lu'o Q lu'a le'i broda > > I think the defaults should be {piro lei} and {pisu'o loi}, > as for {le} and {lo} Yes. What I would like would be gadri for: lau'i broda = lo klesi be lo'i broda (ro) lau'a broda = ro lu'a lo klesi be lo'i broda (pi ro) lau'o broda = (pi ro) lu'o (ro lu'a) lo klesi be lo'i broda --And.
