We talked about this recently: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lojban/message/21150 We should change the grammar from: number = PA [PA | lerfu-word] ... lerfu-string = lerfu-word [PA | lerfu-word] ... to: number = PA ... lerfu-string = lerfu-word ... Adding numbers to lerfu strings would remain relatively easy using {PA bu}. Letters as digits don't make much sense anyway. They are certainly not worth the trouble in boi's that they cost us. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
