Examples
.
The child drew a house with a red pencil.
?
Do you have a pencil for me?
, .
I wrote the letter in pencil, not in pen.
Note the stress: , on the second-to-last syllable like every Esperanto word, not on the first as in English "crayon". And it means a pencil, not a wax crayon - the wax sort is a vakskrajono if you need to be precise.
