jāo

jaao

jāo

Still on the seventh sentence of the Babel text:

il tamma ien ē pa mēli anānīke ī pa sāim antaxōni ān tēna ī la ankāe ancēji ja ñatta rēha pa jāo jānne;

jāo is an abstract pronoun or rather a pronoun that refers to an abstraction. In this sentence jāo refers to pa mēli anānīke ī pa sāim antaxōni ān tēna and not to ankāe ancēji ja ñatta rēha as one might think. jāo can’t refer to ankāe ancēji ja ñatta rēha because the entire pa clause pa jāo jānne refers to it already.
