I don't know why the stuff disappeared, but the sentence is ungrammatical (and the YACC parser has never been good at telling people why something is bad - it just tries to recover; the 2.33 parser was somewhat more robust at this than the 3.0 parser, as I recall). When something weird happens, I break it into pieces, and in this case it was easy to find a problem. The le za'i abstraction has no selbri that I can tell; the third ku terminates it and probably confuses the parser. -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)
