The convention in answering Q-word questions, though, is to
give only the replacement for the Q-word.  Thus a typical
question with "ma" will be answered with a sumti, and a question
with "mo" will be answered with a selbri.  A full bridi
answer would be taken to override (parts of) the question:

	la lojban. mo
	du la loglan.

	What is Lojban?
	It is Loglan.
