".i ny za'u re'u pensi" is grammatical, even though it doesn't parse
as intended, just like ".i ca pensi", because "ny za'u re'u" is a
tense. If a parser doesn't like it, there is a problem with the
parser.

I have proposed that PA and BY shouldn't combine, since the benefits
of such combinations are much less than the troubles they cause.

The x2 of pensi is not for the thought that you hold in your mind but
for whatever that thought is about, It's like the x3 of tavla, or the
x3 of djuno. You can talk or think about pretty much anything.
