lesson16

hello,
here are my thoughts about lesson 16:

lesson16:
	There's more money here on the table in case the
	  thermometer is more expensive than the bird food.
	Bagonta setoy xeku kwa vodi vozwe caytende sebinsanta xeku
	  menyo tane fuvyu te geji.
sts: how do we say: "The thermometer is more expensive than I thought"?

lesson16:
	The toy house will cost the same as all of those coins on
	  your desk.
	Goy sebinsanda cavu litoynto fosetoy tuju vimu vodindu
	  kozwe tufoy.
sts: it's the first time that i remember to see a construction like "cavu litoynto". is it the same as "cavu te gelitoy" or is "cavu litoynto" more specific? 

sts.
