I'm unsure that this should be allowed. However, it wouldn't require significant changes on my part to permit. I'd simply create a new 'valsi' type (rather stretching 'valsi' here, as it can already store cmavo clusters) for tanru. jbovlaste "natural language words" can be phrases, such as "Spanish moss" or "Tillandsia usneoides". Multiple glosswords are permissible, and soonish I'll get around to allowing multiple keywords per place. -- Jay Kominek The wheels are spinning, but the hamster is dead.
