BPFK Section: Grammatical Pro-sumti

posts: 2388

I seem to have done a 180, but I'll stick with where I am now on the {du'u}-{ka} issue. Practically, {ka} is more likely to be a function (we talk more about beauty than Joan's beauty) (though I do miss the adverb idea) and possibly more about beauty than being beautiful. So, I think I agree that {du'u} is less likely to contain {ce'u} than {ka} is and so get require all to be explicit. {ke'a} is always going to be called for in relative clauses, so we can drop the first one with assurance.

I don't understand

terribly well, but I will attempt to abide by it. Please let me know if I'm confused.
