Magic Words

It has become obvious in my exploration of trying to make a formalism for the pre-processor sections of grammar.300 (see my new grammar page) that the interaction between the various magic words (si, sa, su, zo, zoi, zei, bu, y, etc) is extremely ill-defined. It needs to be fixed. This is going to be rather unpleasent.

Sections

• Erasures SI SA SU
• Quotations LU LOhU LEhU LIhU ZO ZOI
  • Hopefully only ZO and ZOI will be relevant here, but the interaction of SI and LOhU/LEhU is also up for grabs. If this section hasn't been hit by the time we get to this checkpoint, we might as well do the whole thing.
• lerfu Forming cmavo BOI BU FOI LAU TEI (Shepherd: Arnt Johansen)
  • BU only.
• Hesitation Y
• Nonce Connectives BAhE ZEI XI
  • BAhE and ZEI only. If this section hasn't been hit by the time we get to this checkpoint, we might as well do the whole thing.

Far future: Experimental cmavo

In response to xorxes' handling of the xa'o issue in the first Aspect checkpoint, the jatna has decided that when most everything else is wrapped up, we'll have a checkpoint just for figuring out how many experimental cmavo have been seriously reccomended by Shepherds for official status. As such, the jatna strongly reccomends that Shepherds do not include experimental cmavo in their proposals, but instead include links to experimental cmavo that they consider potentially worthy of official status.

Pro-sumti

Deferred due to lack of interest.

Sections

• Logical Variables KOhA1
  • Not sure this one belongs here. Let the jatna know if you have an opinion one way or the other.
