Oren, my point was exactly that people not familiar with lojban would
have been confused by the ".i" at the beginning. I guess you were
meaning that all the lojban sentences should be considered as a single
sequence and hence each should be separated by the preceding one by
{.i}?

I find it too convoluted as reasoning.  I would prefer not put it at
all and neither put {ni'o} and any other particle that is not strictly
related to the translation.

Anyway, I think we should decide a common way of doing it so that the
sentences appear to be uniform.

If you could explain better why you would prefer to have {.i} at the
beginning we may discuss about it.
