I originally thought "thru the window" is not ambiguous. Now I
see at least two meanings. The first is what I intended.

        I look up.
        I look down.
        I look thru the window.

        .i mi catlu fi'o farna [fe'u] le gapru
        .i mi catlu fi'o farna [fe'u] le cnita
        .i mi catlu fi'o pagre farna [fe'u] le canko

        Is the window clean?
        I look thru the window.
