Thanks. I have done that and began the work. Here is my progress: https://github.com/trans/lojban-sentinels

Although still early (no doubt some important magic interactions still need consideration) I am thinking of introducing proposal in a new thread.


TR NS, learn the language as you can. Even if you have proposals.
There are many ways to the top of the mountain.

I'll keep at. I wrote this proposal only b/c others seemed to think it had merit too. And I thought "if not me than who?". Of course the bonus is that it really has helped me get a better grasp on some of the grammar. `to` And get pretty damn well confused about those mekso operators! `xau to` ;-)

Could you please put the translation of your examples to "normal" Lojban so that we can compare them?
I'm interested in your proposal.


Done. I added two more examples too, but it's hard to find good examples b/c the terminators are so often elidable. If you have some better examples to replace the ones I have dug up that would be great.


Indeed, I never use {ku'o}. It seems like it is always elidable or replaceable with {vau}.

As for other terminators. {be'o}  is necessary in {be'o poi} however, if {poi poi} is allowed in the grammar then {be'o} can be dropped too.

{do'u} is often elidable if you say {COI do}/{doi do}.
{kei} is to be replaced with {vau}.
TEI and mekso are poorly thought out parts of the grammar so i won't even comment.

I made a pull request fixing some mistypes.
