I was listening to the audio recording in the Multimedia section of  
lojban.org, and am confused about the use of {no'i} in the  
translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. According to  
jbovlaste {no'i} means a paragraph break where you are returning to a  
previous topic, while {ni'o} is the same but for a new topic. I would  
have expected {ni'o}'s where the translation uses {no'i}'s. Why is it  
done this way?
