[bpfk] {.i} and {ni'o}, continuation or new jufra



This thread is so completely unrelated to BPFK work that I feel we really ought to move it to a new thread by now.

You seemed to be arguing that that was the case by default, and you
needed a FAhO to break that default, which is contrary to everything I
have ever learned about Lojban.

Let me put it this way:

A:  (something that parses correctly on its own)
B:  (something that parses correctly on its own)

My default assumption is that what A said is one text, and what B said
is another text. In some special cases, B may be adding something to
A's text, but normally they are just responding to A's text with their
own new text.

That's the Lojban I have learned starting from your lessons. Is that
not your current understanding too?

If what B says is parsable, but would cause jbofi'e to say "selbri may be missing on line x column x", then I would probably assume that it is a continuation. That's the first thing I look for to determine if the new speaker's utterance is a case of continuation or of an elided {.i}. However, that assumption really depends on context more than anything else.

In the case of:

A: [bridi]
B: [bridi]

I would likely assume B was not continuing A's jufra, as if they had said:

A: .i [bridi]
B: .i [bridi]
