If there really were such a problem, 120 years of use would likely have brought it to light. In fact, as Jespersen also noted in <I>An International Language</I>, both Eo and Ido simply require users to know whether a root is nominal or verbal. If you know that kron- means "crown"--that in fact it's basically "krono"-Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793038831644847951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8240097.post-67809536424910077982009-01-11T01:06:00.000+09:002009-01-11T01:06:00.000+09:00I don't really know what is the situation with Ger...I don't really know what is the situation with Gerda's copyright.

It is really fairly easy to understand without a minute spent on learning it. <BR/><BR/>I also know one thing that would greatly benefit all IALs you studied so far. We need another version of Espists' Gerda - a book that is written Barcodexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07550988312540602062noreply@blogger.com
