[lojban] syntactically correct but grammatically wrong

[Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.optus.nu>]

The Lojban formal grammar covers syntax, but not semantics or pragmatics. 
There are sentences that are valid according to the grammar, but would not be 
valid to a native speaker. For instance:

mi te .u do du ra'o ko'a (converting a conjunction with "te" is 
meaningless; "du", unlike "go'i", has no antecedent, so "du ra'o" doesn't 
make sense)

ze'e le jeftu be li ci mi sipna noda ("sipna" is intransitive; this is in 
Alice)

le brife cu jungau le dargu le tsani (wind is not an agent, roads don't know, 
sky isn't a knowable fact)

Can you think of others?
