History: Allow BAI phrase to modify tense markers

Source of version: 1 (current)

In ((the Book)), chapter 10, verse 8.3, p. 225, there is a sentence in which a BAI phrase semantically modifies a tense marker: *le verba mo'i ri'u cadzu le bisli ma'i vo'a Since "ma'i vo'a" modifies "mo'iri'u", not the bridi as a whole, it should be "le verba mo'iri'uku pema'i vo'a cadzu le bisli". This, however, is ungrammatical, at least according to ((jbofi'e)). I propose that a BAI phrase, preceded by "pe", be allowed to modify a tense marker just as it can a sumti. --phma * This seems questionable: the sema'i is zo'e, so it can just as easily be le se pritu as the whole bridi. The same thing happens when you put it in a pe. --mi'e ((.djorden.)) No change needed here: this ((ku)) is elidable. --((John Cowan)) You can use '''jai''' for that. ''The change may be desirable anyway, but in this case you can say "le verba cu cadzu le bisli mo'i ri'u vo'a" or "le verba mo'i ri'u cadzu le bisli ((nau)) vo'a". -- ((Adam))''
