It is trivial to modify the current parser to accept new cmavo for existing selma'o, at least if they have CVV or CV'V shapes, and fairly easy to add a new shape as well. Indeed, the parser can be made to emit a cmavo list (without definitions, of course) using the -c switch, reflecting its beliefs about cmavo->selma'o mapping. -- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Most languages are dramatically underdescribed, and at least one is dramatically overdescribed. Still other languages are simultaneously overdescribed and underdescribed. Welsh pertains to the third category. --Alan King To unsubscribe, send mail to lojban-unsubscribe@onelist.com Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
