It cheerfully accepts a variety of malformed sentences because of its naive morphology modules (it thinks "secusku" is a single le'avla, not a variant spelling of "se cusku"); it does not handle "si", "sa", or "su"; it does not correctly process constructs of the form: lo'u [Lojban junk] zoi le'u. [non-Lojban junk] .le'u [Lojban junk] le'u and so on. It is a compromise between correctness and easy implementability. -- John Cowan sharing account for now e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
