For lei, yes; I was thinking in loi terms. Part of the trouble
is that piroloi is unique, whereas pirolei is not.
lei is as unique as loi, they are both singular terms, they only differ in what the underlying set is. You could just as well say: ko bevri piroloi mu djacu poi cpana le jubme le drata jubme Take the mass of all five waters on that table to the other table. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
