Actually, as John said, empty sentences are allowed after a sentence: paragraph_10 : statement_11 | fragment_20 | paragraph_10 I_819 statement_11 | paragraph_10 I_819 fragment_20 | paragraph_10 I_819 The official parser has no problem with {broda i i i brode}. What is not allowed, however, is this: {ni'o i broda}. That's odd, because if empty sentences are allowed, there is no good reason to make an exception at the beginning of a paragraph. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
