Or does it mean blari'o > cai, where "cai" is in selma'o CAI? The grammar says CAI can go anywhere, If you say blari'Ocai, then it is a lujvo. If you say blarI'ocai, then it is blar'io cai. That's the point of the penultimate stress rule. > But unlike UI, CAI doesn't require the stop before it. UI doesn't inherently require a stop, only the ones that actually begin with a vowel, and the same is true for A or I or Stage 4 fu'ivla or cmene that begin with a vowel. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org Please leave your values | Check your assumptions.
