Hello.

As I have understood it, cotext are the words that precede and follow a passage in a book or novel. We see quotes from politicians or novels that seem outlandish, but we can use cotext to find out the true meaning of it.

It is not the text that literally surrounds a passage, but rather the text preceding and following a quote or passage.

It's different from context since context can refer to the author's state of mind, what the author was experiencing or to the rest of the work as a whole.

My Esperanto is not good enough to produce a translation, but hopefully this should help more experienced speakers. rideto.gif

I didn't want to spoil the joke by putting a full explanation in plain text. Clicking and dragging the cursor over the yellow text will make it intelligible.
