Re: [lojban] po'u considered harmful

I had been interpreting the Book's statement (in chapter 8) that po'u means
poi du as meaning that po'u means poi du.


That means that it is semantically (but not syntactically)
interchangeable.

I have seen no mention of this elsewhere. I am willing to accept that I may
be wrong on this, but I would need to see some evidence that I am. Sorry,
but jbofi'e carries less weight than does the Book, in my mind. Show me
where the anything official says it stops at one sumti and I will only push
the malglico bit.


The cmavo list tells us that po'u belongs to selma'o GOI, and the
YACC and BNF grammars tell us that GOI is followed by a single term.
