Re: [bpfk] BAhE + BU



SI, SA, and SU are all separate selma'o so presumably SU should be in that list as well. I'll remove LEhU.

bu
Combines with the previous word to make a Lojban letteral, provided that it is not one of the quote cmavo (ZO, ZOI, LOhU, LEhU) or one of the erasure cmavo (SI, SA, SU), ZEI, or FAhO. If the aforementioned previous word is already a letteral, the resulting letteral will not necessarily be the same, for instance, "ky. bu" is different from "ky". In addition to single words, bu can be combined with a letteral that is already a composite of a word+bu, a zei-lujvo, a zo-quoted word, a lo'u-quoted string of words or a zoi-quoted foreign text. If there is no previous word, "bu" is in error; this entails that "bu bu" by itself is also ungrammatical.

LEhU shouldn't be there, it's at most a magic word assistant, not a magic word. "le'u bu", "le'u zei valsi", "le'u si" should be fine, unless le'u has already been claimed by lo'u, but that's no different than for any other word. LEhU is like a zoi-delimiter, except LOhU always brings its own assistant whereas ZOI picks one from the members of the public.
 
ba'e (BAhE)
Emphasize next word. Forethought emphasis indicator. Indicates that next word is especially emphasized or emphatic. For grammatical purposes, "ba'e" marks the following word but does not change its nature. (The construct behaves just as the marked word by itself.) The two words are considered distinct for "sa" matching purposes. Multiple BAhE cmavo may be used in succession, and they combine to mark the next non-BAhE word.
See also za'e, .ui, sa, "Magic Words".
  • Keywords: Emphasize next word, emphasize next.

Not sure why "sa" is mentioned specifically.
