Re: [lojban] question about ku

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

This is the meat of my question.  My initial guess was that {ba} expects a sumti as is the case with {mi citka lo plise ba lo nu mi xagji} and that putting it before the selbri or terminating it with {ku} is just a way of saying "forget that sumti, it's zo'e or something".  But the only way of getting that is for there to be an implicit {lo} OR {ku} is special in that it terminates tags like LE, BAI, BA, (and FA?).  But that doesn't seem right because then why wouldn't the ku be necessary in the case of {mi ba [ku] citka lo plise}?

I wish I understood PEG better.

Still no idea why ku can terminate two completely unrelated selma'o, though.

I don't know why it just occurred  to me but... what exactly is "ku" terminatiging in "baku mi citka"?  Is there an implicit "lo" so that parsers see this as /really/ being something like "baloku mi citka"?  Or is ku just able to terminate "ba"?  I didn't know that BA had a terminator... either way something feels strange.
