Re: [lojban] sumti with relative clause

[John E Clifford <clifford-j@sbcglobal.net>]

Insofar as Lojban follows Logic (and I think it
does here), a relative clauses attaches to the
shortest complete sumti preceding, in this case
to {la djil}.  To attach to {ro na'ebo la djil},
that sumti would have to be completed, in this
case by whatever closes off this sort of sumti
{ku}?) before the {noi}.
