You've just contradicted a post of yours to BPFK Section: lerfu Forming cmavo, by the way: Robin Lee Powell scripsit: > To be more clear: bu is handled by preprocessing, which only eats one > word+bu token. Where is this written? It says "all BU tokens", which means AFAICT "cook until done". > bu appearing after preprocessing is an error. Indeed. Furthermore, it's an impossibility. If BU gets 'cooked until done', *despite* there being no indication of this in the preprocessing documentation, why don't lo'u...le'u and si? You can't have it both ways. -Robin -- Me: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
