[lojban-beginners] Re: the ".i" after "lu"
Actually, Elmo, your sentences came to me without any line breaks (due
to my mailer, no doubt), and demonstrated quite clearely that YOU needed
to add .i before the second and third instances of "la ranjit" in order
to break them up, rgeardless of what ranjit is sying ;-)

Very little. Theoretically one might talk in several short
sentence-parts,
like
la.ranjit.cusku lu mi crino li'u
la ranjit cisma
la ranjit cusku lu je cmalu gi'e xabju la.mars li'u
In this case the .i should be inserted there in the beginning of a new
sentence. On the other hand, common sense would suggest citing whole
sentences at once.
In short, stay on the safe side and use .i.
