Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: Wedding ring engraving

No, no, it DOES only "touch" the "la mlatu"

.i iu mi no'u la cipni ze'e prami do nu'e la mlatu ->
[love] I, who is Bird, forever loves you, I promise Cat
 iu     <love>
mi      I (x1 of prami)
     no'u la cipni [ge'u]       who is Bird
[cu] ze'e    forever
prami    loving
do    you (x2 of prami)
    nu'e   I-promise
    la mlatu   Cat (x2 of nu'e)

  The nu'e la mlatu together are free-floating, not tied to anything, much like .iu

Ok i just read a bit about all the selma'o, didn't really know about
it much. i never really got into exploring cmavo, instead tried to
learn a bunch of gismu first.
My problem here was, and kinda still is, that i thought {nu'e} would
only touch the following {la mlatu} and not the preceding {do}.
But i guess {do}'s definition "identified by vocative" means exactly this...

cmavo are pretty much virgin soil for me..
