In fact that's what I thought it meant until you raised this issue and I looked into it more carfeully. I recently used {zo zei zei lujvo} for "'zei'-lujvo", for example, convinced that it was legal. A simple {zei zei lujvo} obviously won't work.

At least it shows that "word" is a flexible concept in these definitions. In {zo da si de}, {zo da bu}, {zo da zei de}, we have zo and something else fighting over the same word, one pulling from the left and the other from the right. We just have to define which one has priority, and the other one should act on what remains. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
