Re: toki "Damin" li sama lili e toki pona.
sona ni li sona musi mute e mi. "This wisdom very amusingly means me" Not sure what the target was, but I think the shot was wide. Goal- "This information is interesting to me." I think I've almost pinned why the verb phrase distresses me. While noun phrases have multi-way polys...
