In short, the selbri (main verb) itself closes it by the virtue of how its
grammar works. You may see something similar for {lo} in {lo broda} and
similar constructs that in 90% of cases doesn't need any terminators
(markers of the end of constructs).
However, I'd prefer not nesting {sei}-clauses inside {lu ... li'u} quotes
since otherwise if you do want to quote a {sei}-clause you are left with
uglier ways of doing so.

Also since probably this project aims at selling books I'd prefer replacing
all compound words (lujvo) not in the dictionary with their expanded forms
to make the reading easier for people still not fluent in Lojban.

As for =E2=80=9CVictorian=E2=80=9D typographic principles those are IMO com=
patible with
Lojban.

What other help needed? Personally I have in my ToDo updating the
translation to make it easier to read by using less complex words and
constructs. What is the deadline?
