Anything of the form "zo X bu" is invalid. Furthermore, zo y bu si si leaves a zo with nothing in it, so it's guaranteed not to work. However, "zo y bu si si da" comes out as "ZO=( zo y bu si si ) zoClause=( da )". > Every "explicit special case" you add to the grammar is a special > rule we have to learn. ".
