Reduced logical form: Step 8


subsentence = sentence | prenex subsentence
prenex = terms ZOhU #
sentence = ([FA] KOhA) ... bridi-tail
bridi-tail = selbri tail-terms | gek-sentence
selbri = [tag] [[NA [[tag]] ... selbri-6

For each sentence, if the bridi-tail is selbri tail-terms:

([FA] KOhA) ... [tag] [[NA [[tag]] ... selbri-6 tail-terms: reduces to [tag zo'u] [[NA ku zo'u [[tag zo'u]] ... ([FA] KOhA) ... selbri-6 tail-terms

If the bridi-tail is gek-sentence:

([FA] KOhA) ... gek prenex ... sentence gik prenex ... sentence tail-terms: reduces to gek prenex ... ([FA] KOhA) sentence gik prenex ... ([FA] KOhA) sentence tail-terms

Finally, the tail-terms of each sentence are reduced in the same way as the pre-selbri terms have been before: starting from the first one, tagged terms and negations go directly to the prenex, KOhA terms go to the prenex and leave a KOhA behind, and connected terms and termsets expand into a gek-sentence.

To tidy up, we now split every multiple term prenex into single term ones:

term ... ZOhU subsentence: (term zohu) ... subsentence

and we move all pre-selbri terms behind the selbri:

[([[FA] KOhA) ... [[CU]] selbri [[[FA] KOhA] ... /VAU#/: reduces to selbri [[[FA] KOhA] ... [[[FA] KOhA] ... /VAU#/


text has been reduced to:

subsentence = selbri-6 [[[FA] KOhA] ... /VAU#/
| gek subsentence gik subsentence
| NA KU # ZOhU subsentence
| tag /KU#/ ZOhU subsentence
| [tag] [quantifier] KOhA xi number [relative-clauses] ZOhU subsentence

(Where selbri-6 is an untagged/unnegated selbri, KOhA is one of da, de, di when quantifier is present, else it is one of ko'a, ko'e, ... fo'u.)
