I'll wait until tsani replies. I'm n= ot a legislative power in Lojbanistan.


Haha, I'm glad to see people actually thinking = that I have some voice around here. Regardless, I don't really, given the d= ictatorial nature of Lojbanistan.

To return to the main question, using sei to split quot= es has some inherent ambiguity; using sa'a merely diminishes it, I think. T= hat being said, I don't like the idea of split quotes at all. they seem unl= ojbanic, especially considering that the resulting sentence is not a bridi.= It's just a free-floating sumti between two {.i}.
