Regardless of all this, in my example ({fe la alis. cukta fa ti la
lu,es. karol}), I wasn't explicitly putting the third sumti into the
second place, but putting it after a first-place sumti. Since it
wasn't tagged, {la lu,es. karol} ends up being in the third place of
{cukta}. This is CLL 9.3.7 and thereabouts. 9.3.9 says that when you
tag multiple sumti with the same FA cmavo, you're really making a
separate claim for each individual combination of sumti. So there's no
overwriting going on.
{fa .abu fa by.
broda
fe cy. fe dy. fe .ebu
fi fy.
fo gy.}
is really making six separate claims, one for each combination of sumti.
Hmph... logical. More logical then my supposition.
