This is contradicted by the filtering rules in the formal grammar:

a. If the Lojban word ``zoi'' (selma'o ZOI) is identified, take the following 
Lojban word (which should be end delimited with a pause for separation from 
the following non-Lojban text) as an opening delimiter. Treat all text 
following that delimiter, until that delimiter recurs *after a pause*, as 
grammatically a single token (labelled 'anything_699' in this grammar). There 
is no need for processing within this text except as necessary to find the 
closing delimiter. 

b. If the Lojban word ``zo'' (selma'o ZO) is identified, treat the following 
Lojban word as a token labelled 'any_word_698', instead of lexing it by its 
normal grammatical function. 

c. If the Lojban word ``lo'u'' (selma'o LOhU) is identified, search for the 
closing delimiter ``le'u'' (selma'o LEhU), ignoring any such closing 
delimiters absorbed by the previous two steps. The text between the 
delimiters should be treated as the single token 'any_words_697'. 

Step a should also look for "la'o", which is in the same selma'o.
