OK, The BNF 'grammmar' (but isn't it in fact the yacced grammar) is the final authority on syntax. The further move to connection with meaning -- something which exists for no langauge that I know of (including machine languages) -- is what jboske is largely about. And making that move is greatly aided by having the syntax fixed (and the vocab, too, of course). To unsubscribe, send mail to lojban-unsubscribe@onelist.com Your use of Yahoo!
