The only effect is that bu in {fu zei bar bu} sees a single token and creates a BY. > It wouldn't break my heart if "zei zei ..." runs were always illegal, though: > that is, if zei could not act upon zei. I think Robin's approach for this is the Right Thing: the second zei is the glue, so {zei zei broda} is as well behaved as any other lujvo. In a string of more than one {zei}, the evens have to be glue and the odd ones glued rather than the other way around as is currently the case. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
