The clitics -ci and -la, as found in u-ci and u-la might usefully be u= sed like this:

eqo-ci es maxi boni, eqo-la es homo porko. ‘this hors= e here is great, that horse there is like a pig’.

Now, the advantage o= f this optional usage is that -ci and -la now mark out substantive noun= s. Thus, if the phrase quoted above looked like this:

plu tri celero = fo-sono rubi vagona-ci ‘these three fast loud red cars here’

You wou= ld know to take everything between plu and vagona-ci as modifiers, since t= he clitic marks vagona as the substantive.

Hi Edmund,

Interesting point.= You would have just introduced noun endings… That’s not Glosa how I lea= rnt it! :) But maybe -ci and -la could be applicible to any other part of = speech? I’m not sure.
