I have a question regarding audio-visual isomorphism in lo cmalu noltru.=20
The dialogues in this book often don't indicate speaker changes (just as=20
in the original). This is fine when reading the book, because one can=20
see the "=97" sign and the line breaks. However, when reading such a=20
dialogue out loud, it isn't always so clear to the listener.

Here is a small excerpt:

=97 .i sa'u mi ty ponse
=97 .i xu do ponse lo tarci
=97 .i go'i
=97 .i ku'i mi pu zgana lo nolraitru noi ...
=97 .i lo nolraitru cu ponse nagi'e turni .i mutce frica
=97 .i ma do prali lo nu do ponse lo tarci
=97 .i prali mi fa lo nu mi ricfu
=97 .i ma do prali lo nu do ricfu
=97 .i lo nu mi te vecnu lo drata tarci va'o lo nu da tolcri ty

So it looks like there is a character/layout choice here that has=20
meaning (i.e. it marks a speaker change), but that isn't realized in=20
speech. This is unsatisfactory for me. The question then is what to do=20
about it.

Should "=97" here be considered a "forethought" pair of =ABlu li'u=BB? I'm=
=20
tending towards reading it that way (should I ever get around to making=20
a complete recording of this wonderful book).
