A real relation you cannot use. and vidi go
back to the same Latin verb e, and so does
vizio at rank 2,698 - a thing seen, whether in the sky
or in the head, which is why sits next to
inspiri in a way never will. The
cousinhood is genuine and completely useless to you as a builder: there is no
Esperanto seam here. You cannot cut into vid- plus anything, because
the root is -, borrowed whole through French, with one narrow meaning
attached. The false friends article makes
the general case - a resemblance between roots is evidence of nothing on its

The document, precisely. A is not the permission to enter, it is the
endorsement in the pasporto saying the papers have
been examined. Grammatically the verb is , to endorse a document, and the
official who does it is the vizanto. Enirvizo is an entry visa,
elirvizo an exit visa, trairvizo a transit visa, all built with the
prefixes you already have.

border, dogano for customs, and permesi for what
the whole apparatus is deciding whether to do.
