Re: [lojban-beginners] Re: Not needing terminators

[Ian Johnson <blindbravado@gmail.com>]

I know; as I said I intentionally made that a bit more clunky than was
necessary to make sure I actually knew what I was doing here. (If I
had really wanted to practice terminators I would've put every single
one in.) I know there are better ways to do that; just from LfB I knew
to use cu when possible.

I really like that structure, though; that's considerably better than
the not-clunky structure that I had in mind.

By the way, you changed it to "ba na'e"; is there a word order for
this sort of thing anywhere?

mu'omi'e latros.
