[lojban-beginners] Re: Whitespace in written text



Thanks for the answers. To clarify the second answer, this means that you're not allowed—in speech—to pause in the middle of a word as you can in English (e.g. '"I think it's an anti...body or something," she said.'), right?

2) Lojban has mandatory pauses, but is it okay in speech for a pause to
happen anywhere (as it's bound to happen in human conversation):
 Spoken: la . mari.as . ninmu . . . i dunda . . fi la .alis. fe le .
cukta . i . ta blota

Pauses may occur anywhere between words; they may not occur in the middle of a
word, as that would break it apart into two or more words.
