That doesn't make sense, as a verse is about a sentence, and you don't want to
put "ni'o" every sentence. Besides, sometimes a verse break falls in the middle
of a sentence. Mark 1:23-24 are one sentence (containing three sentences in a
quotation) in Greek, but would be two sentences in Hebrew or Lojban; Mark 3:7-8
breaks in the middle of a list and would not have a sentence break at the verse
break in any of these languages.
