sts:
one more example for putting the oblique "nanende monsanta xeva gihi"
right after "cayzdanta" (exchanging "legidya ju" and "gihi").
-> "Cayzdanta nanende monsanta xeva legidya ju mapesi lehi."



stefo,
all of these examples where you want to move the oblique closer to its verb can also be handled by "meku ... gaku".  in fact, that's what "meku/gaku" is for, to keep the wrong word from becoming the link.
steven

thank you very much!
