[lojban] Ancient Greek, free word order and the same FA two times in a bridi

[Gleki Arxokuna <gleki.is.my.name@gmail.com>]

Ancient Greek and Russian have free word order. It means that instead of "Yesterday I saw a big dog" you can literally say "Big yesterday saw dog I" due to case markers.

Lojban currently can't split sumti apart.

{mi viska lo barda gerku} = {fe lo barda ku viska fe lo gerku fa mi}?

This issue remains unsettled.

ju'i jbobadna how are we going to translate Homer's magnificent style? Again distorting his work of art like it is being done when translating it to English? (Russian has other drawbacks in grammar).

Therefore I suggest that if we have the same FA more than once in a bridi it means that we can join them back with {je}. So

{fe lo barda viska fe lo gerku fa mi} = {mi viska lo barda je gerku}.

If you need to use joi, fa'u, jo'u or other connectives such partitioning is not possible.
