It's actually separating two words, but they're written run together. For
example:
la .kot.divuár. na.e la .pyd. xazdo
Côte d'Ivoire not-and Tibet Asian
Côte d'Ivoire is not Asian, but Tibet is.
"kot.divuar" is two words, but a single name. "na.e" is two words, but a
single conjunction, and the second word begins with a vowel. ("naje" is also
two words, and logically the same conjunction, but it connects a different kind
of phrase.)
ta'e la .kot.divuár. du la xantyde'i xaskoi
