D'oh! _tika_ means SHE.nom, so I said "She learned Swedish in Uppsala". It should've been Fapyasúnna ku púpisalav pli taswidansagá I don't know how I could've made such a simple mistake. Also, the interlinear should've been Fa-pyasu'n-*a ku p-u'pisala-v pli ta-swidan-saga' Same meanings * indicates gramatical gemination -- "Old linguists never die - they just come to voiceless stops." - anonymous http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
