Re: [lojban] Does the lojban language include the empty string?

What I mean is that because the empty string is grammatical, a text will be discovered for any input, whether or not the input is grammatical and can be consumed. This is easy enough to correct for. What's proving to be a more difficult obstacle in using the parser to detect lojban texts is the "bare cmevla" rule: "lojban is an improved version of loglan" parses as a grammatical bare cmevla sequence. But that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish. 

Yes, but it's not just cmevla. What about "mi casa es su casa", or "my dog never liked tiramisu, but I do"?
