X-Yahoo-Group-Post: member; u=116389790 X-Yahoo-Profile: lojban_out X-Yahoo-Message-Num: 24286 I downloaded what I believe is chapter one of a story called "la nicte cadzu". Some text in that story is bothering me. sy ze'a zgana lo tarmi poi ca'o cenba .i ba bo sy suksa jimpe lo du'u le tarmi cu simsa lo .oxtapodi The last word begins in a vowel but ends in a vowel too. It seems to be a fu'ivla, but... * I cannot find it in jbovlaste * jbofi'e seems to not have any problem with it at all * cmafi'e breaks it into two words: .oxtapod (a cmene) and i (sentence separator). Even though I cannot find any rule in the reference grammar against brivla or fu'ivla beginning in a vowel, it confuses me that cmafi'e breaks the word into two ones. Could anyone explain?
