History: ''ka'' versus ''du'u'', and ''ce'u'' and ''zo'e''

Source of version: 1 (current)

# Inside ka: fill every logically present but syntactically absent place with ce'u. # Outside ka: fill every logically present but syntactically absent place with zo'e. # (1-2) constitute the ONLY difference between ka and du'u (except for the x2 of du'u which, in usage at least, seems dead). ** But the x2 of cusku is a sedu'u: ''mi cusku sedu'u la .and. srera'' ** "I am an expresser type of the sentence that says And errs"?? OK, only joshing. OK, maybe it does get used then. Doesn't deserve to, though :-( --mi'e ((And)). ---- Please let this ((dies in the arse|die in the arse)). (There, And, that better? :-) ) Under this proposal, ''ka ce'u klama'' means ''ka ce'u klama ce'u ce'u ce'u ce'u'' (or in fact, ''ka ce'u klama ce'u ce'u ce'u ce'u pi'o ce'u bai ce'u ni'a ce'u cazi ce'u fi'o ganxo ce'u...''). If I want to speak of going as a property of just the goer, I should not have to say ''ka ce'u klama zo'e zo'e zo'e zo'e''. The sensible default is not two ce'u, or a zillion ce'u, but a single ce'u. -- nitcion ---- I will let it die in the arse. You don't realize that ''du'u ce'u klama kei'' would express the property of goerhood, but it remains the case that under the above proposals there is no way that ''ka klama kei'' or ''du'u klama kei'' can express the property of goerhood. And that's what people want. Therefore, see ((ka, du'u, si'o, ce'u, zo'e)) for a revised proposal.
