Re: belated ressponse to Jorge: bu'uvi
Dylan translates pc's "John loves Mary more than Harry Sally" as:
> la djan. ce'obo la maris. zmadu la xeris. ce'obo la selis.
> le ka le pamoi be ke'a cu prami le remoi be ke'a
Beautiful! (The {bo}s are grammatical but not needed. They would be
needed for a connective made with a BAI, were my proposal to be
accepted, but {ce'o} is a JOI.)

Right, which is what I had at some point, but with a different
interpretation for the elipsized places. I like yours much better.
