Re: [lojban] [oz] Use of elidable {cu}




{lo broda pu brode} is parsed differently between jbofi'e (yacc) and camxes (peg):

jbofi'e
[(lo broda KU) CU <<pu brode>> VAU]

camxes
[(lo broda KU) (pu KU) CU <<brode>> VAU]

It seems that jbofi'e is in accordance with CLL, while camxes isn't.
(cf.
CLL9.10:
An alternative to using “ku” is to place the modal cmavo right before the selbri, following the “cu” which often appears there. When a modal is present, the “cu” is almost never necessary.
CLL10.1:
The placement of a tense construct within a Lojban bridi is easy: right before the selbri. It goes immediately after the “cu”, and can in fact always replace the “cu” (although in very complex sentences the rules for eliding terminators may be changed as a result).

I feel that the natural place of tenses is just before the selbri, and anywhere else they ought to be followed by either a sumti or {ku}. It is so much simpler to add a {ku} whenever we want an out of place tense. I have little hope that the grammar be reviewed, but don't you feel the same?

I did propose once that tags should have priority in their function as selbri tags over their function as sumti tags. 


 Then why are peg parsers against your proposition and jbofi'e and CLL?
Is it a bug, or an intended behavior?
