Quoting from the third baseline (grammar.300): e. Absorb all members of selma'o DAhO, FUhO, FUhE, UI, Y, and CAI into the previous token. All of these null grammar tokens are permitted following any word of the grammar, without interfering with that word's grammatical function, or causing any effect on the grammatical interpretation of any other token in the text. Indicators at the beginning of text are explicitly handled by the grammar. In a few places UIs will not have the same meaning: after a ZO or LOhU the UI is part of the quoted text and doesn't indicate an attitude about the quote marker; a ZEI makes an adjacent UI part of the resulting virtual lujvo (not that I have any idea what that lujvo would actually mean); and BU converts the preceding UI into a BY. -- Erik W.
