lerfu question Posted by pdf23ds on Mon 16 of Jun, 2008 06:01 GMT posts: 143 Use this thread to discuss the lerfu question page.
Posted by pdf23ds on Mon 16 of Jun, 2008 06:01 GMT posts: 143 I'm wondering about this example from la nicte cadzu: .u'e sai le risna be sy pa roi da'ergau As it stands, "sy pa" runs together as a lerfu string and makes the whole thing ungrammatical. To fix it, even a "bu" won't do (still a lerfu string), you have to use a "ku". (This is with my implementation of the official PEG parser.) Does all this sound right?

I think "ku" only works because it terminates "le risna be sy"; to terminate just the "sy" itself, you have to use "boi". mu'omi'e la'o gy. Minimiscience .gy.

I was thinking "bu" was "boi", but no, it's just bu. But the "bu" *is* required in this case? Chris Capel -- "What is it like to be a bat? What is it like to bat a bee?

But the "bu" *is* required in this case? Assuming you actually mean "boi", yes, it is required unless you use another workaround like terminating "le risna ..." or reordering the places. mu'omi'e la'o gy. Minimiscience .gy.

But the "bu" *is* required in this case? No. "bu" after a letter turns it into another, presumably related, letter: "kybu" is Q, "vybu" is W, "abubu" is (I think) @. I ran into the same problem in Alice. "abu za'ure'u" had to be changed to "abuboi za'ure'u".
