The paper on relative clauses is one of three not yet written. The term "elsewhere" throughout the reference grammar means "in another paper", irrespective of whether that paper is written yet. When the reference grammar is assembled into a book, all "elsewhere"s will be changed to actual chapter references. > I know there are papers yet to be written, so if this is already scheduled > for coverage in one of them, then never mind. Yes. The other unwritten papers are on predicate logic and elidable terminators. Some information is available in Lesson 17 of the on-line draft textbook as well. -- John Cowan sharing account for now e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
