"kaj" -> "and"
"I was able to understand you!" (?)
"And you are able to _____ ____ by/through ____." (?)

"ne konfuzighu" -> "Do not confuse" (??)
"la teksto enhavis kelajn erarojn" -> "the text ___ ____ ____ errors" ->
"the text contained/had a few small errors/mistakes" (??)
"do ne konfuzighu" -> "that one must not confuse" -> "that one must be
careful not to make" (??)

"You ___ ____ the agreement between subject and adjective ('Games are
good')". (?)
I am going to have to figure out "pri"; I have seen it several times now.
Some observations:
(1) I have detected no repeated consonants or vowels thus far.
(2) I have detected no potential diphthongs thus far.
I suppose the language is intended to be lexically simple as well as
grammatically simple....
Eric
