That works, but it creates two entirely separate functions for "nu'i": 1) starts a termset, with elidable terminator "nu'u", 2) optionally joins a tag to a following sumti. (BTW, "nu'i" is not really elidable here, since elidability is a terminator property; rather it is optional.) -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org Yes, I know the message date is bogus.
