Did you try "fi la lojban ku tavla"?


I don't need to try it, but {fi la lojban ku tavla} means "talk about Lojban". I meant {fiku} with no sumti should be x3, and a terbri next to it should be x4, but jbofi'e doesn't parse it as I expected.

I was wondering about that in past as well. I can't find that thread now but the funny thing is that 
{fizo'e la lojban tavla} does what you need.

so does

{fo la.lojban. tavla}

and

{la.lojban. ve tavla}

I guess guskant is searching for stylistic diversity which is indeed present here.
Like
in {fizo'e la lojban tavla} {la lojban} is tavla4.
But in {fizo'e tavla la lojban} {la lojban} is now tavla2 !!!

BTW, here is the old thread https://groups.google.com/d/topic/lojban/ZBpL4xoUwgQ/discussion

ki'e gleki for the info. My problem is however a bit different from yours.

From your problem, I see jbofi'e forgets the places assigned by FA when a selbri appears, and after the selbri, the default place structure is applied. I would like to say it bothers mi'a who are not familiar with European languages and should be a bug, but my actual point is something other.

According to jbofi'e, {fi ku la lojban tavla} means "Lojban is talker."
Even if {fi ku} doesn't mean /anything/, it is not a valid reason for ignoring the usual rule "that after a FA-tagged sumti, any sumti following it occupy the places numerically succeeding it, subject to the proviso that an already-filled place is skipped" described in CLL9.3.
Even {fi zi'o la lojban tavla} is parsed as "talk in Lojban" that I expected. Why not {fi ku}?
