Because, technically, it doesn't valsi. If it is, it is indeed a boundary case. It is a brivla at least in parser terms: "a. Token sequences of the form any - (ZEI - any) ..., where there may be any number of ZEIs, are merged into a single token of selma'o BRIVLA." Also, for example in the rule lerfu-word = BY | any-word BU {zei zei lujvo} is a case of "any-word". So {zei zei lujvo bu} (but only at the beginning of text!) is a lerfu-word. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
