[lojban] questions about Ruth



Someone mentioned Ruth on the jbovlaste list so I started reading through it.  So far I'm only up to 1:17 but I've found the following things that need correcting I think:

1)  In verses 1 and 2 there are 3 occurrences of "xabji" where I think the author wanted "xabju".
2)  In verse 8 where the author said {.i la na,oMIN cusku fi le be'aspe lu ...} I think they wanted {.i la na,oMIN cusku fi le be'aspe fe lu ...}
3)  In verse 17 we have {.i .aicai noda poi na'e nunmorsi zo'u da tersepli mi do} I think it's going for "nothing which is not the event of death will separate mi from you".  But really isn't it saying "nothing (other than death) that thing is separated from me [plus some un-defined x4 place for {do}].  In other words, doesn't {noda poi ... zo'u} take x1 which puts the next {da} in at x2 (causing {mi} to go to x3 and {do} to go to x4)?

If I find more stuff as I read through I'll just put it in this thread.
