Oops! I just reread my previous posting (after sending it out, naturally) and
realsized that I'm getting sloppy with my  rtemmu grammar.  Instead of:

> liwuhwuh seksebtse auag dava'io`gfr`shuh. >
it should go: liwuhwuh seksebtse auag wuh dava'io`gfr`shuh. (The third "wuh" refers to the fact that the rate of change of the emotion is unknown) In rtemmu, the particles that describe speed of change may be dropped if they are understood, which is what I did, considering that, if everybody didn't know either everyone's speed of development and all individual understandings of truth, then obviously, everyone's appreciation of the emotion of "only-ness" would also be unknown. Thus I dropped it. However, it is not good form in rtemmu to have a content-word without at least one rate-of -change particle preceding it. Usually, the rate of the speaker's change is dropped, but the rate of the process is usually kept, even if it is obvious. Dan Sulani -- likehsna rtem zuv tikuhnuh auag inuvuz vaka'a. A word is an awesome thing.
