- Aha! That's another thing that doesn't exactly match up between English and Rokbeigalmki that i was trying to remember in my other post... 'to be -ing' usually corresponds to Rokbeigalmki present-immediate tense, but in this habitual case it corresponds to the present-routine tense. -Stephen (Steg) "mew hast meep."
