It's really a matter of personal preference. In fact, you could right all consecutive cmavon in a row as a single word, since the lojban parses unambiguously. So for example: klama fa mi fi la .atlantas. fu le karce fe la bastn. fo le dargu (from Chapter 9 of the CRG) could just as easily have been written klama famifila .atlantas fule karce fele bastn. fole dargu. "lemi" = "my" is really the same as "le mi" => "le … pe mi" = "the….of mi" It's just that English speakers tend to think of these constructions as indivisible groups, so they write them together. Same thing with .iseri'abo and others. --gejyspa

"nu", while others would write it as "lenu". |
