It should be "paroi > ku". I don't think you understand what ".ebo" does. "mi .epubo do broda", and its longer form "mi broda .ijepubo do broda" are used all the time, and mean "I broda, and before that, you also broda.". paroi is a tense, just like pu is (well, not *exactly* like, but close enough). > But that one isn't parsed, either. Correct, and the grammar agrees that it should not; only the non-terminal 'term' can become ku, but there is no way to put an ek between 'term' non-terminals. On the other hand, the grammar says that "mi .eparoibo do broda" should parse. -Robin -- Me: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
