The dots should go back in throughout. The Thais and Ancient Greeks may disagree, but I find a text without punctuation very hard to read. As to word order, if you have two FA tags in one bridi to preserve word order, it's too much. One SE and one FA is okay, e.g. le selci'a cu se fanva fi le xelso (which means the same as {fanva le selci'a le xelso}, but the latter might look up, see someone, and assume you uttered an observative about the passing translator). phma
