And the rule was altered to cover the LaPlace situation. I
believe the current solution allows unambiguous parsing of
names (in Loglan), and has only the restriction that names end
with a consonant and a pause.
I'm still not fully understanding how the new Loglan rule covers
all cases. What about someone named, say {parmalagan}? Is {la
parmalagan} a single person, or is it {la parma la gan}, two
sumti, the first being LA on a hypothetical predicate {parma}?
la parmalagan would be la Parmalagan, because la parma would need
to be followed by a pause to be la parma la gan
Why is that, exactly? That wasn't mentioned in your full
description.
Is that a pause before la, or a pause after anything after la, even
if it's not a name?
