Re: [lojban] selma'o considered harmful

What about "du"? According to the cmavo list, it's in selma'o GOhA, but the only difference between GOhA and BRIVLA is that GOhA can be followed by ra'o, and "du ra'o" doesn't make sense. So could "du" be said to be in selma'o BRIVLA?


Originally "du" was in its own selma'o, DU, and was permitted only

as a selbri_B_132 (IIRC). But I somewhat hastily over-generalized it
into selma'o GOhA, thus permitting some highly dubious constructs like
tanru with du.
