The problem is that the CLL's explanations of magic words *cannot*
be reconciled; there are direct contradictions.  "su" is, in fact,
working, and while sa isn't perfect, it works too:

rlpowell@stodi> echo 'mi klama lo klama sa le sutra' | camxes
text
   sentence
   |- CMAVO
   |     KOhA: mi
   |- bridiTail3
      |- BRIVLA
      |     gismu: klama
      |- sumti6
         |- CMAVO
         |     LE: le
         |- BRIVLA
               gismu: sutra

http://www.lojban.org/tiki/Magic+Words encodes the decisions I made
in camxes; in some places camxes doesn't actually do what that page
says, and in some places even with how detailed that page tried to
be it's *still* incomplete.  That's why aisa is working on it.
