Really? Wow! It was the first thing that came in mind (directly in Dutch, I didn't translate from French or English), so I was sure there was an error somewhere (I usually always have to correct myself). I was especially unsure of using whether "gaan" or "komen", and of the presence of "mee-" or not. I still have problems with Dutch little words, including the separable prefixes ;))) . Well, you just made my day! It seems I'm finally beginning to think in Dutch! ;))) Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
