Good splitting. How come "skeleton" is not a "whole of all bones"? Bye, Stephan ... From: MorphemeAddict@... To: saweli@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday,...

1) I have split several more classifiers to permit finer distinctions. In most cases the first two letters remain the same (but see "ti", "to"). If a ...
I've split some more of the classifiers, this time the activities. te activities te'e activity produces a physical result te'u activity in which the action of...
I've changed the classifiers for the modals, both epistemic and deontic, to forms with apostrophes. The order has also changed, to better reflect similarities...
I recently changed the modifiers again, so that there are more of them to choose from, and so that there would be more structure to them. I'm not really happy...

Welcome to my Saweli group, rexxia! I work on Saweli almost every day, but don't often get new material posted. If you have any questions or comments, I'd be...
hi steven / stevo, you made me think and remember an old issue of saweli (since when it used to be katanda). my "stupid" question has always been: how should ...

In a message dated 5/13/2007 1:29:04 PM Central Daylight Time, ... There is already a means for doing precisely this, I believe. The Saweli word is "zuxlip"...

Another English sentence is: "He heard her singing in the garden." This can mean both "He heard that she was singing in the garden." and "He heard her while...
I though English can work this way. :-) Let's try in Esperanto: "Li aŭdis ŝin en la ĝardeno." or "Li aŭdis ŝin enĝardene." can mean both "Li aŭdis ŝin...
