[lojban] When {fe'u} is needed

[Pierre Abbat <phma@bezitopo.org>]

Any preposition (proper preposition or tense marker) can be used as a 
conjunction for bridi by putting it in {i ... bo}:

la'e di'u ckini lo jdima be lo jungo tcati ma .isecaubo mi klama le zarci

This includes phrasal prepositions made with {fi'o}:

la'e di'u ckini lo jdima be lo jungo tcati ma .i fi'o ckule bo mi klama le 
zarci

The preceding sentence parses in camxes, but not jbofi'e, which does not like 
{i ... bo} with {fi'o BRIVLA} inside it. If you take {mi} out, you get a 
problem:

la'e di'u ckini lo jdima be lo jungo tcati ma .i fi'o ckule bo klama le zarci

Here {ckule bo klama} is the selbri converted to a preposition, and {le zarci} 
is the preposition's object. To fix the grammar, insert {fe'u}:

la'e di'u ckini lo jdima be lo jungo tcati ma .i fi'o ckule fe'u bo klama le 
zarci

mu'omi'e .piier.
