Such a situation is a sign that the gismu places may need to be
reordered. The places of the Lojabn gismu have been gone over pretty
thoroughly, with a lot of attention to "optimizing" the use of each
gismu in isolation, but very little thought to assembling them in lujvo
-- the dikyjvo orientation.  I warned Lojbab that he was painting
himself into a corner by proceeding forward in gismu places without
making the necessary foundation of dikyjvo rules.  He did go forward,
and now there's a lot of text that would be invalidated by the
necessary place changes.

Anyway, this section of the paper is good.
