va'i  wexdil?

( = Huh?)
Or, in other words,

va'i  ieviutvr`vewasyasnueviitvr`venernu   wexdil?

( = Huh? )  ;-)

( that's  "i-evi-ut-vr`-ve-wasyas-nu-evi-it-vr`-ve-ner-nu"

i = speaker can concieve of/observe
evi = may it be that
ut = rate acceleration
vr` = more (in a temporal sense)
ve = near in time
wasyas = new instance of repeating process
nu =  (first |nu| relates to the speaker, second |nu|
        relates to the wexdil) = subjective change too slow
        to notice
it = rate acceleration
ner = parts of the process are subjectively changing
         at different rates (in this case, all the rates are
         too slow to notice)

and , of course,

va'i = declaration of emotion
we- = question
xdil   = procedure
wexdil = how? )
