To Logical Language Group respond I thus:

#I have notice in Lojban conversation that I frequently start saying something,
#finish the x1 sumti and get to the selbri, only to realize that I needed to
#make it a raised sumti with tu'a.  There is no after thought verion of tu'a
#though there may be a way if using Nick's version of sumti-raising in this way
#(Nick???).
