some i already used in kontoko, but the rest i had to figure out (i
figured out what the words could have been in old kontoko and then what
the same original words would be in kinsi rorotan... i'm still not sure
about "container", though... it's a little strange in that it's
development was affected by analogy with a different word (_veto_, _evto_
in old kontoko, it's a very long story about how that was the only verb
in old kontoko that had an agentive form like that...) instead of staying
the same as most of the other words like that (it was originally _nato_,
_natod_).  i think i responded in one of the polls that i did sort of
have a conversational level in kontoko -- i can write it and speak it,
but i can't consciously translate things into kontoko without looking up
the words from things that i've written before in kontoko and kinsi
rorotan.  some day i hope to write a grammar of old kontoko, so other
people can figure out kontoko and i can use it in relays <evil grin>.

i don't know... i've had dreams of kinsi rorotan and kontoko :)))
