Hi!

Henrik Theiling <theiling@...> lies:

This is wrong. It should be: Kjok te lu son xjohe su litju. Because `tu' is a contraction of `lu te' not of `te lu', so the sentence as given meant `Hide the happiness you want.'... Likewise:
> Kjok tw lu son xjohe la son su litju.
No, no. It should be: Kjok te lw lu son xjohe la son su litju.
> Tu son litju u la son litju.
No, no, no. It should be: Te lu son litju u la son litju. Maybe I'll have to change the words again in order to prevent mistakes like this. Tyl-Sjok is supposed to be quite easy... **Henrik
