Thanks loads, I needed that!
jbofi'e found no fault in all of this , but, since it does not give me a 
daigrammed output, I have no idea what I said.

Yes, when jbofi'e rejected my forethought form, I shifted to soemthing it 
would take but forgot to get out of forethought. Can one forethought a 
bridi-tail (? or whatever this is)?

Semantic dissonance. I thought about that and looked it up. It said {bo} is 
short scope and, since I wanted the whole sentence in, not just the following 
sumti, I figured that must be what I want. Amoment's thought would have told 
me that, despite what it says, it means something quite different (the 
characteristic of Lojban?).

{di}, being KOhA is assignable (see {da} in the first step) but the 
assingment is going the wrong way here, so yes it should be {no'u} -- and so 
generally for "namely riders."

I fell for the oldest joke ("the proof of the pudding ...") so, no, it 
shouldn't be {cipra}, though I am not sure that "showing the truth" is what I 
would use for "proof." But ti works.
