I spent a few minutes trying to find a pair of bridi whose meaning is 
different but whose spelling is the same:


   - do vecnu le ciska mi (You sell the scribe to me)
   - do vecnu le ci skami (You sell the three computers)
   
camxes <https://lojban.github.io/ilmentufa/camxes-exp.html>parses each of 
these differently depending on the spaces, which I thought was not a thing 
(CLL 4.1: "A stream of Lojban sounds can be uniquely broken up into its 
component words according to specific rules")

Q: Are these correctly formed bridi?

Q: Is the thing I thought I loved about Lojban most -- unambiguous 
syntactic parsing, which I thought CLL 4.1 stated -- actually not a thing?

Thanks!

--Rob
