Comment #1: s/ca/ze'a
Jorge Llambias (Sun Jan 9 22:44:10 2005)


"x1 fasnu ca x2"

If you want x2 to be the duration of x1, then ze'a
is better than ca. ca says that both events happen
at the same time, but they need not be of equal duration.

ze'a implies a length of time, though (i.e. medium-time-ness). What about
ca'o?

What about
> ca'o?

I use ze'a for unmarked rather than medium (what is a medium length of
time anyway?).

ca'o would only say that x1 occured covering x2, but they need not be of
the same lenth.
