    • heads of phrases

    Posted by PierreAbbat on Sat 05 of Dec, 2009 12:57 GMT posts: 324

    The head of a bridi is the selbri, and the head of a tanru is the tertau.
    What's the head of a phrase of the form LE+selbri?

    If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

    If the head is what gives a phrase its syntactic function, then it should be LE.
    This would be even more compelling if LE /KU/ was a valid sumti, since
    I think usually a head by itself is an instance of the phrase.
