Re: [lojban] ko'a rodbo'e bai ko'e

[selpa'i <seladwa@gmx.de>]

It's all a question of stress. You don't need spaces if you indidate 
stress (using capital letters).

rodbo'Ebai is one word, the stress as in any word falls on the last but 
one syllable (the penultimate).

rodbO'ebai is two words. the bai falls off because the stress is always 
on the penultimate. Anything after the next syllable must be part of the 
next word.

Spaces in writing allow you to determine stress unambiguously without 
the need of capital letters. If you want to omit spaces, you must 
indicate stress on certain words to make sure the sentence is segmented 
correctly.
