How would you translate:

1. Snow is to winter as rain is to spring.

2. Chimpanzees are like people without language.

lo snime cu ckini lo dunra fi da .ije lo sicpi cu ckini lo vensa fi da
(This could use some rearranging, possibly with the preposition "ki'i".
"carvi" is not the right word for "rain" as it also covers snow; "sicpi" is a
word that was discarded though it shouldn't have been.)

tsani's {ce'oi} reifies termsets, letting you do:

lo cnime ce'oi lo dunra lo carvi ce'oi lo vensa cu simxu lo ka ce'u tcima ca ce'u
