piimage	Let's say you have an important blue rock. kiwen laso suli As you can see, "laso" and "suli" both describe "kiwen" They are modifiers. So, now we want to describe the blue as important. But how do you modify a modifier? kiwen pi laso suli "pi" has effectively created a new modifier! So the meaning has changed. This is no longer an important blue rock, but a rock of an important shade of blue.		Heav
