"{sa}" is currently defined to erase everything back through the last occurrence of a word of the same {selma'o} as what follows, not the last occurrence of the same exact word. Secondly, "{sa}" is the only {cmavo} of {selma'o} SA; each of the three erasure {cmavo} belongs to its own {selma'o}, which it shares with no other. The fact that they each have completely different effects on the grammar should have been a tip-off to you. > ta'onai. So, I haven't been able to completely follow the conversation > fully.

Increased ease of converting foreign words to Lojban {selbri} without having to deal with {fu'ivla} morphology or "{me la}." However, prior texts which did not separate {cmevla} from following {selbri} (e.g., "{la .ktulxus. senva denpa}") would either take on a completely different meaning or become invalid. > What would be the proposed default meaning of something like {ko'a cu djan > ko'e ko'i}? From earlier in the thread: > "x1 is named '...'" would probably be the default meaning for cmevla.
