[lojban-beginners] tanru order



When you have things like {vajni mutce} and {manku mulno}, you're
usually going to want to reverse those, right? Here are the examples
in question, from Alice ch1.

i [...] la alis [...] sezysku lu xu lo'e mlatu cu citka lo'e volratcu
i xu lo'e mlatu cu citka lo'e volratcu li'u esu'oroibo lu xu lo'e
volratcu cu citka lo'e mlatu li'u
iseja'ebo na _vajni mutce_ fa le du'u porsi makau ki'u le nu abu ka'e
spuda no le re preti

la alis nasai se xrani gi'e zi sanli fi le jamfu gi'e catlu le gapru
noi ku'i _manku mulno_

It seems like both of these would be better off reversed, but maybe
the second is still correct. But I think the first, since the x1 is
filled, is actually incorrect, since the fact is ke not important
ke'e, not ke not extreme ke'e.
