X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=116389790 X-Yahoo-Profile: lojban_out X-Yahoo-Message-Num: 21937 This sentence: mi viska le sa .i mi cusku zo .djan. is given as an example in the book, yet prima facia it's wrong: there is no other sentence starter to erase back to. I don't really think the incorrectness of that text is arguable (although I'd love to see someone argue it). What I'm wondering is do people think that allowing "sa I" or "sa NIhO" at the beginning of text is a reasonable extension? It would be clearly labelled as non-standard, at least in the documentation. -Robin -- Me: http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
