I *feel* there is a difference between the above three sentences, but I can't say I understand what this difference actually is.
maj..
So, what's the difference ?
/If I were rich, therefore I would buy an ancient cat. If I were rich, at that time I would buy an ancient cat./ (At what time?) /If I were rich, and then I would buy an ancient cat./ (What is this coming after?) Only the first one is acceptable as a standalone sentence; the others require setting up a prior context. And the first one only works because Okrand lets *vaj* be combined with *-chugh* in an /if/then/ formation. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
