Because a quotation begins and ends and there is not any other obvious gramamtical mark when these events occur -- or need not be. <I obviously meant lu/lo'u.> Well, not obviously, but certainly more understandably. The parser will reject a {lu} quotation if it is not grammatical, but allows an ungrammatical {lo'u} to pass. the difference allows one to discuss dubious or known-bad Lojban without being ungrammatical oneself. |
