It's in mekso, for one thing.

For another, expectation is to'e spaji (according to the definition of
spaji, it's nalspaji, but that's clearly wrong).

{li na'u tolspaji vamji i bu} is now translated by my parser in LaTeX
mode as { $ \langle i \rangle $ }.

Thanks.

Now I need to re-create the formula to test this new operator, unless
someone has a copy.  :-P
