It glues them both into one single word class, and even some ill-formed words can be misrecognized as brivla-like. The goal was not to make bullet-proof morphology check (OK, it _was_ the goal, but I failed to accomplish it. Putting the whole lojban morphology into regexps should be theoretically possible, but in practice regexps of reasonable size (and therefore processing speed) can do it partially only). The real advantage (I hope) of lojban.vim is improving the text readability for lojban novices and to make some obvious errors really _obvious_. > "lietviska" is illegal with the consonant pair "tv".

BTW, lojban.vim _does_ higlight as special case all of the popular unofficial ethnic _gismu_ (loglo norgo spero talno turko). -- Cyril Slobin
