History: methods of resolving mismatches between place structures and number of overt sumti

'When the number of overt sumti exceeds the number of sumti places': see SE + x2-less brivla for the proposal that a nonce selbri-meaning is created that has a place structure that accommodates all overt sumti.

'When the number of sumti places exceeds the number of overt sumti': the current official rule is:

Empty places are to be filled only by implicit zo'e.

zo'e can be construed as anything but no da and zi'o.

Empty places are to be filled only by implicit zo'e or implicit zi'o.
