"Should" or "could"?

Should. If I had meant could, I would have said could. It's ability to be taken as one text is not in question. We already know it "could".

"lo verba jo'u lo mamta". With ".e" it's false, since it expands to:

lo verba cu cusku lu .i mi nelci lo mi cnino .yyyyyyyy. mlatu li'u
.ije lo mamta cu cusku lu .i mi nelci lo mi cnino .yyyyyyyy. mlatu
li'u

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that.
 
Anyway, I'm lost as to the point you want to make here. Sure, one
possible interpretation of the mother's text is as completing the
child's text. So?

mu'o mi'e xorxes

My point is, if something said by a second person is always treated as separate text, how does the mother finish her child's sentence?

And since Lojban is supposed to be umambiguous, it has to be one way or the other. Either a new speaker is always a new jufra, or only at the next {.i}, which is my preferred reading. (Or listening.)
