But then how do you distinguish it from {bargu'e krabe'i tekykurji}? I guess
that if you are careful where you place secondary stresses, it is possible.
I don't care either way, since hopefully, such words will be rare.

Hm...

(In any case, I prefer gugbarkrabe'i )

Ok, it's a believer then, but I think idealism has to do with prane.

You're right.

Then I expect that {pacna} won't become "expect". I still don't understand
how to use the "expected likeliness" with "hope".

But early means before the expected/natural time. Urgent means right now,
even if it's too late.
