This probably doesn't matter, practically speaking, but in the sentence

da broda be de be'o di

, is {di} in place 2 or 3 of broda? Jboski says 3, and my parser
agrees, but I wanted to make sure.

That's what I would expect to. {da de broda be di} is harder
to decide. Is {de} the x3 of broda, because the selbri
{broda be di} is already reduced by one place, so that its
x2 is the x3 of broda?

Well, both Lojgloss and jbofi'e assign de to x3, but not for the
reason you give (at least in the case of Lojgloss). My algorithm
starts filling places of "broda" with the linkargs first, starting at
the second place, so first di is assigned x2, then da x1, and then de
x3, because it's the next open place. Thus {da fe de broda be di}
assigns de to the x2 of broda, where under your interpretation it
would be the x3 of broda, being the x2 of {broda be di}. (Jbofi'e once
again agrees with Lojgloss.)

Although you can't always trust jbofi'e. After all, in "da broda
de fe di it assigns de to the X3 place, but the refgram (chapter 9,
3.9) specifically says that both "de" and "di" should be the f2
places. I'm not sure what the rule is with "be"-implicitly-tagged
places would/should be, though.

You commented on my blog? I'm afraid it didn't show up. Ugh. I'd hate
to think people have been unable to comment for the past couple
months.
