So why should {be} form an exception? {pe} and {be} belong to different selma'o and they have different functions. {be} attaches a sumti to a brivla. {pe} attaches a sumti to another sumti. {be} can only be used right after a brivla (or other tanru unit). It cannot be used between a gadri and a brivla. The sequence is as follows: You start with a tanru unit. You can attach any number of arguments to it with be-bei- (the result is a more complex tanru unit). You convert a tanru unnit into a sumti with a gadri. You attach to the sumti another sumti. There are three places where you can place this attached sumti: between the gadri and the brivla, between the brivla and {ku}, or after the {ku}. A tanru unit with attached sumti can also be used as part of a tanru, as in the tanru {broda be ko'a brode}. You can't do that with {pe} because there is no sumti in {broda brode} to attach another sumti to. mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
