"pu", "ca", "ba" take only one sumti when used as tags. Maybe you are thinking of their use as connectives, as in ".e ba bo"? In such constructions it is the connective ".e" that takes two sumti, and "ba" is just being added to the meaning of ".e". mu'o mi'e xorxes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lojban Beginners" group.
