These seem to do the trick, Dan.
The resulting predications have 2 arguments, one of type 'i' and the
other being the modified 'e'.
Can you (or anyone) clarify why some comparatives have 3 arguments one
of them being their own 'e' and the other 2 being the comparands
(typically 'e', sometimes 'u') versus these (which are not unique in
this regard)?
Thank you,
Paul
