CLL 1.0 Chapter 6:
15.3)  li .abu bopi'i xy. bote'a re su'i by. bopi'i xy. su'i cy.
       the-number a times x to-power 2 plus b times x plus c
       ax2  + bx + c

It's the first time ever I see this bo+VUhU pattern, and it seems this example sentence from the CLL is not grammatical under any of the following parsers: YACC, Jbofihe, Visual Camxes, Camxes JS.

Neither  do formal grammars of CLL where the only mentions of them in mekso are


I'm convinced this is a CLL error. It looks like the intent is to get right-associativity, so that the ^2 affects "x", and so "x^2" is in turn multiplied by "a". In the second term, the "bo" is used particularly for tight binding, to prevent the default equal left-association of all VUhU. These BO+VUhU should all be VUhU+BO.
