Ch.16 section 12.

When using the hardcopy, page number is much better, because it is
difficult to find the chapters by number. The only place the number
appears is at the beginning of the chapter. It's unfortunate that
chapter numbers were not used in every page, or at least to label
the examples. We should take this into account for the coming books.

Right. It matters where you put the naku boundary, quantifiers,
other connectives, and anything else that has scope.

We can have special rules for every case if we like, but it is better
to have a uniform rule. Floating tenses work essentially like naku,
I don't see why you would say they work differently.

That's what I want, so we agree about this case. But for me this
is the exact same case as {paroi ro le re co'e cu broda}.
