As in probably all the Romance languages, and many others (e.g. Hebrew,=20 Arabic, Hungarian). Personally I find this strange=97doing and making are ve= ry=20 different things to me. In Eloshtan, "do" is the same verb as "use,"=20 "fefy/fofy" and "make" is the same as "create," "tefy/tofy" (except in=20 certain dialects). Josh http://members.aol.com/fuscian
