That doesn't make sens. You need to sleep, but you can't because of coffee, and subsequently you're gonna make more coffee??

"REDUP" is not a glossing term. I assume the reduplication indicates plural. In that case, you'd gloss it something like:

ril kala dal~dal
to many person~PL

((ok thanks (: Lonmai Luna uses reduplication for person and animate plural, but except for 1st and 2nd person, plural is never obligatory, and 1st and 2nd persons don't form the plural by reduplication))

Since then, two of them got married, and most of the others didn't even attend the weddings. It's sad, because it takes a long time for me to consider someone a friend. At the same time, I realize that we have changed a lot in a decade, and that we live very different lives now.
