They are 'absorbed' into the preceding token before the main parse begins, so gramatically this is considered equivalent to 'paroi'. This is step 4e) of the description quoted below from the grammar.300 file : 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. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard P.
