Notes

TOI is currently seldom elidable. I believe that currently it is only elidable at the end of text. It is the belief of .xorxes., me, and possibly others that it should never be elidable. - .aionys.

  • TOI is elidible in lots of places. It's rather easy to come up with examples such as mi klama to zo'o gi'e stali or mi to mi tatpi cu surla. --selpa'i
