Re: [lojban] cu-alike for other situations

[John E Clifford <kali9putra@yahoo.com>]

All this is a little outside my range, but Logjan has a history of right hand 
end problems, both in specifying them and in using those specs correctly.  Any 
device that does this efficiently and surely would be universally welcomed 
(after the carping about details and destroying the purity of the language are 
over, of course).

I seem to recall cases where vau wasn't sufficient to do what I
want, but nothing's coming to mind at the moment.  The next time
that happens I'll try to take note.
