Hi Yong Peng and all,
This is another one where I wonder if word order might be
significant. Any help/input on this would be appreciated.

>9. Kassakaa sabbadaa gaamesu na vasanti.
> farmers / everyday / in villages / do not dwell
> The farmers do not dwell in the villages everyday.
I might have chosen the word order:
Kassakaa na sabbadaa gaamesu vasanti.
Basically I want the negative particle 'na' to be adjacent to
'sabbadaa', to make it clear that they don't always dwell in the
villages (but sometimes do). The original quoted above sounds to me
like it says 'The farmers always do not dwell in the villages' i.e.
that they never dwell in the villages. But this is just an impression
and I have no evidence to back it up. Comments?
best regards,
