Well, you're missing the fact that I was typing to the English
parser, but that's no matter.
More examples:
.i gau mi > I love weebles!
(Guessing that you meant to type: "I love weebles!" ...)
.i .u'u ga lo se cpedu cu na cumki gi do snada lo nu cfipu mi
.i gau mi > cusku I love weebles!
(Guessing that you meant to type: cusku "I love weebles!" ...)
.i do cu cusku zoi zoi. I love weebles! .zoi
Yes, you're right; I had them reversed. lu ... li'u on the outside,
and zoi on the inside is better.
