Re: [jboske] specificity of da (was: kau)




la djorden cusku di'e

The binding "da", according to the book, must end at the end of a
sentence.

It's good that the Book says that, I didn't remember it.

If you want a "da" to keep it's referent across seperate sentences,

But "da" does not have a referent to keep if you escape the
scope of its quantifier.

just put them into one sentence:
	da klama .i da sipna
	Something comes.  Something (else?) sleeps.

	da klama .ibo da sipna
	Something comes and it sleeps.

How would you translate:

       da na klama ibo da sipna

??
