Editorial note — Front matter (continued 3)
Reading edition
The adverbial participle must not be used in rendering the English "nominative absolute" construction of a participial clause referring to something else than the subject. In such a sentence a clause must be used: The youth being young, everyone watched him, ĉar la junulo estis juna, ĉiu rigardadis lin; the work being finished, he went away, kiam la lahoro estis finita, li foriris.
