It would seem the founders had a severe mental lapse, because I just checked, and no-one remembered what Arnt just remembered in #lojban: There's a big list of these interactions in the Red Book. http://lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter19.html section 16. Bad forgetful Founders! No cookies for you! Anyways, that list isn't actually perfect (it doesn't handle, for example, "zo broda bu", and IMO it treats .y. as a word more than should be the case), but it's pretty good. If you assume that the following note is supposed to be there somewhere, it's nearly perfect: This list is in order of importance; any apparent contradictions are grammatical errors. That seems to have been the intent, but if the founders could speak to that I'd appreciate it. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
