Here's how to make it work with the official parser and/or jbofihe: mi rirni ci da noi verba li 12 lo'o fa'u li 10 lo'o fa'u li 4 As solving this problem only requires two tokens of lookahead, it's pretty sad. This is one of the reasons I'm happy with camxes (http://teddyb.org/~rlpowell//hobbies/lojban/grammar/), which has no problem with this at all (and needed no additional work to "fix" this "problem"). -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
