Are you telling me that use of FA affects the x-numbering > of subsequent suivla? So without that added {fa} it's as if there > were a {fo} there? No! Mercy! It does, indeed. The rule is that an un-FA-marked place falls into the first empty place following the last FA-marked place, except that a sumti following the selbri cannot fall into the x1 place (it must be put there by "fa"). Only explicit FAs can cause a place to be occupied twice. Places marked with BAIs or tenses or "fi'a" are not counted by this rule. -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
