is there a way to say "also" with a noun, or is "je" after the verb the only 
way to say "also"?
e.g.: "my brother wants a new room.  my sister wants a new room too."  i want 
to emphasize the contrast between the brother and sister, not between the 
wanting and something else, or the new room and something else.  
"pa' chu' neH loDnI'wI'.  pa' chu' neH be'nI'wI' je." is what i want to say, 
but i can see problems with "je" as "also" used with "je" as "and".
