Wait, *no*, that's wrong. a. If the Lojban word "zoi" (selma'o ZOI) is identified, take the following Lojban word (which should be end delimited with a pause for separation from the following non-Lojban text) as an opening delimiter. To interpret it as you're suggesting requires that "i" be eaten without a following pause delimiter. Whether that matters in this case I'm not sure, but it certainly violates grammar.300. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin.
