Is it a rule of interpretation that a zo'e x1 in the main bridi
is interpreted as an observative? I'd prefer the Loglan system
where a bare sumti is an observative (which allows the le/lo
contrast to be exploited), and for zo'e x1 in main bridi to be
no different in its effects than zo'e elsewhere.
