The grammar requires it. It's officially marked as elidable, but eliding it in such a context as this requires at least LR(2) lookahead. About the only safe context is where an end-of-termset "nu'u" is followed by a termset-joint "nu'u", in which case one of them can go, and it turns out to be the second one. -- John Cowan cowan@snark.thyrsus.com ...!uunet!lock60!snark!cowan e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
