I have questions about the "audio-visual isomorphism"
property of Lojban. Suppose somebody reads the following
in a slow monotone:

        i mi fi do ca cusku fe ...

What prevents the listener from hearing this?

        i mi fi do ca cu skufe ...

What is the role of spaces and newlines in Lojban text?
Are they ever either mandatory or illegal?

Thanks,
Philip.
