Re: ka'enai (was Re: [lojban] cmavo compounds)



I've just tried a quick experiment on the bison input file for jbofihe.
I could insert an optional NAI after CAhA without introducing any extra
shift/reduce or reduce/reduce conflicts at all.

So the answer to Robin's question seems to be "yes" (unless there are
some subtleties in the tense pre-parsing that I've overlooked).
