Re: [lojban-beginners] What actually are the rules of word formation?
Another bug. Following these rules to the letter, words like
{gastro}/{neslau}/{ladzanja} would be split as
{ga,stro}/{ne,slau}/{la,dzan,ja} and classed as zihevla, not lujvo,
which in turn makes {cazgastro} and so on tosmabru. It seems like the
easiest fix is to say that rafsi are syllable-shaped strings, not
necessarily syllables.
de'i li 2015-04-19 ti'u li 22:19 la mezohe di'e cusku:
When segmenting text into syllables, when a consonant could possibly
either start a syllable or end one, it's always taken to start one. In
other words, onsets are greedy, codas are lazy.
[...]
A final rafsi is:
- a zihevla:
- a vowel syllable
- followed by any number of vowel, h-, or consonantal syllables
- followed by a vowel- or h-syllable with no final consonant
- is not a gismu or sequence of more than one rafsi
- e.g. cpi,kù,ku àl,ga fì,pr,koi glàu,ka sprà,'e
[...]
- or a short final rafsi:
- a CVV or CCV vowel syllable, e.g. xau, cpa
- or a CV vowel syllable followed by a 'V h-syllable,
e.g. fà'i
An initial rafsi is any one of these:
[...]
- a short y-less rafsi, unless the following rafsi is a zihevla rafsi:
- a vowel syllable of the form CVV, CVVr, CVC, or CCV
- or a CV syllable followed by a 'V or 'Vr syllable
e.g. gau gaur gas jbu li,'a li,'ar
