Re: [katanda] va-question

 "kivakxe" = "vakxe kiva" = "vakxe vatsi kiju"?


"Kiju" is not a valid word.

and how do we say "which book do you want to read?"

 > i thought about that "kastebyo" is an illegal name in katanda. well,
 i thought, if i chose "kastibyo" to be my name, who could garantee
 that you will never feel the necessity to invent the classifier
 "sti"? in that case, i would have to change my name once again.


At this point in time, EVERYTHING is subject to change.  If you're
searching for a final product, drop Katanda now and come back in a few
years.

you're optimistic (that in a few years katanda will be a final product). :) my best wishes.

so when you change katanda classifiers then the katanda names change. if "jo" would become a classifier, john's name in katanda isn't kajobyo anymore. poor john.

why is it so difficult to implement that everything between ka- and -byo is a name (whether equal to a classifier or not)?

kastebyo,
