Well you could, but it's somewhat lame. I think it would be nicer either to preserve the order of the quantifiers by doing something which would invert them, or to make it have its own selma'o so it would only be allowed in the rule for terms formed from tag+sumti. Either way it's definitely not a pressing concern that is worth violating the baseline over: it seems to make sense that things should still go left to right for terms made from tag+sumti, and it can always be overidden with a prenex. --=20 Jordan DeLong - fracture@allusion.net lu zo'o loi censa bakni cu terzba le zaltapla poi xagrai li'u sei la mark. tuen. cusku --ibTvN161/egqYuK8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline [Attachment content not displayed.] --ibTvN161/egqYuK8--
