Re: [lojban] frants.verf,l.: sticky modal in relative clause(s)?




la aulun cusku di'e

(...offer for rescue...), dark, subdued, vague, like all offers of that kind. (He knows that...) (...te friti lenu terckape sidju...) noi tai ki le'e nunfriti cu manku zi'enoi xablau zi'enoi nalsatci (.i ki djuno...)

Do I need to make the modal sticky in order to refer to all (parts of?) the relative clause(s) joined by {zi'e}?

You can sidestep the question by saying: {noi tai le'e nunfriti
cu manku gi'e xablau gi'e nalsatci}

If yes, have I to undo stickyness at the beginning of the (normal) following sentence, or is this unnecessary because it is referring only to the relative clauses (and there's no more relative clause to follow)?

I don't know, but I guess that if it can jump from one relative
clause to another it must also jump to the next sentence.
