I used the Babel text and I made a mistake. For some reason, I mistake the particle /pa/ for "by". I didn't know how to differenciate "Let us begin" from "Let you begin". Isn't /num/ the imperative particle? Fir num grchen! we IMPERATIVE start/beginning = Let's begin! That's what I wanted to write first.

Isn't /plu/ the plural marking? That's what I understood from the Babel text. I should have written: Fir num krchea de plu woch! we IMPERATIVE creation (ACTION) PLURAL language = Let's make languages! I was trying to impress you with my mastering of Chatiga. I failed but you cheated! ;-) You changed the values of some particles in between the Babel text and yesterday. Not fair! ;-) tul'xej zato'kja.
