Re: [lojban-beginners] Allowing empty {soi}

ok, so my question is, what are the specific rules that make it such that in "soi broda fa ko'a ko'e ko'i" "ko'e" and "ko'i" are the ones that are reciprocal and not "ko'a" and one of the other two?

As in, could you describe how you think {soi} should work in terms like "when soi is encountered, take the first sumti and the last sumti of the current level bridi and make them reciprocal" or some such?

Something human readable but which seems like it could be described to a parser.

Sorry if I'm coming off as being a stick in the mud or something.  I just can't really start thinking about ramifications until I understand what precisely it is that you're talking about.

As it is now, I believe "soi" is a fairly poorly defined word and I seem to recall hearing rumblings about deprecating it altogether.

so what would the behavior be if you had more or less than 2 sumti?  i.e. what is the meaning of "mi soi klama",
When you leave things out, it's just zo'e, and thus left to context.
{klama} maybe isn't the most reciprocal-friendly word to begin with.

"soi klama", or
Same here.


"soi klama fa mi lo zarci lo zdani"?
I go to a market from a house and from a house to a market == I go to a market from a house and back.



Can you make a little bit more clear what your suggestion/proposal is?

The proposal is just to remove the restriction of {soi}, that it must at least contain one sumti.
