I would very much appreciate if someone could enlighten me on the=20 following points : 1. "zo y bu =3D=3D (zo bu) [one y ignored]" or "zo y bu =3D=3D (zo (y = bu))" ? 2. is "broda lo'u brode fa'o" grammatical ? (can we assume that fa'o=20 closes all elidable terminators, even le'u ?) 3. what remains after "zo y bu si" ? 4. what remains after "zoi zoi zo zoi sa zo" ? (I ask because I notice=20= sa is processed before zoi) 5. is the word juste after "sa" erased with the sa itself ? (I think=20 not, but please confirm) 6. I notice that fa'o is processed before zoi : what remains after=20 "broda zoi zoi fa'o" ? (is the quote automatically closed, or does the=20= sumti become ungrammatical ?) 7. in case "no" to 5, about zei, I can read: "it affects whatever is to=20= the left after the erasing is done; if nothing is left an error=20 result". What remains after "broda zei brode sa zei brodi" ? A few other cases spring to my mind, but their relevancy depends on the=20= answers to the previous questions, so I will probably wait the next=20 round for them :) Thanks in advance, --=20 Rapha=EBl= --Apple-Mail-20--709742213 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; x-mac-type=70674453; name=PGP.sig content-description: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Ceci_est_une_signature_=E9lectronique_PGP?= content-disposition: inline; filename=PGP.sig content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (Darwin) iD8DBQFBkLrA18ht0zty5ysRAozjAJ9y4ZROwgE5I8T7m9IAlzJtplwvNwCfR6rg OIsNTaxqZDwSA62JytLMzSo= =eTaW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail-20--709742213--
