[lojban] Questions about the Magic Words

[Raphaël Poss <grey.havens@online.fr>]

Hi,

	I am now reading the Magic Words wiki page, and it actually challenges 
what I thought I previously knew about the lojba grammar.

I would very much appreciate if someone could enlighten me on the 
following points :

1. "zo y bu == (zo bu) [one y ignored]" or "zo y bu == (zo (y bu))" ?

2. is "broda lo'u brode fa'o" grammatical ? (can we assume that fa'o 
closes all elidable terminators, even le'u ?)

3. what remains after "zo y bu si" ?

4. what remains after "zoi zoi zo zoi sa zo" ? (I ask because I notice 
sa is processed before zoi)

5. is the word juste after "sa" erased with the sa itself ? (I think 
not, but please confirm)

6. I notice that fa'o is processed before zoi : what remains after 
"broda zoi zoi fa'o" ? (is the quote automatically closed, or does the 
sumti become ungrammatical ?)

7. in case "no" to 5, about zei, I can read: "it affects whatever is to 
the left after the erasing is done; if nothing is left an error 
result". What remains after "broda zei brode sa zei brodi" ?


A few other cases spring to my mind, but their relevancy depends on the 
answers to the previous questions, so I will probably wait the next 
round for them :)

Thanks in advance,
