Lojban actually incorporates lexing as part > of parsing. So parsing means performing a syntactic analysis. Like what compilers (of computer code that is written in some computer language) do. Right? Well, the parser I was thinking of would probably have to detect/recognize vowels in a name (sequence of characters), probably break down the word into syllables, check the presence of the period at the end, check consonant clusters, etc. And eventually decide whether or not all this is within the Lojban spelling rules. >From your answers so far I conclude that such a parser doesn't exist/isn't available on the net?
