That is, one must pause at a {.}, one may pause at a { }, and one must not pause at any other place. Therefore, a lojban passage written down with no spaces and only showing stress may be the most accurate way to describe that sentence as uttered in one instance, but it might be inaccurate with regard to another instance. mi'e .sen.

Then it really would be written down in the way that it was spoken, and that would be wonderful. As for those of you that find it difficult to read, I think that it could become, with practice, much easier, because, you could, by looking at the shape of a sentence, and just a few letters, know what the sentence was, providing it didn't contain names. --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo!
