[lojban] Re: zo si si si

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

Ok.  So, when one encounters multiple {si}s they should count how many there are {X}(unless the first is being quoted) and count backwards {X} valsi and erase all of them and all of the {si}s.  Otherwise there would be no way of {si}ing a {zo}.

I would have expected it to behave like a (-1)^x  where the bridi
bounces back and forth between "... zo" and "... zo si" for each new
{si} added.

It seems somewhat counter-intuitive but I can see the neccessity of it.

.skamyxatra

It's grammatically equivalent to "{mi cusku}."  See section 19.13 of the CLL
for an explanation.
