This comment is s bit misleading, as it suggests that there is something

special about MAI that breaks LALR(1). But even if MAI were to be removed from the language, or made prefix, the problem with numbers would remain just the same, because you can't tell "number MOI", "number ROI" and "number /BOI/" appart from each other without indefinite lookahead, the same goes for "lerfu-string MOI" vs. "lerfu-string /BOI/", and I think compound tags break LALR(1) too.


 "A term is either a sumti or a sumti preceded by a tense or modal tag."

Also: "na ku", "tag ku" and the most weird "fa ku" are terms.

A term can come after {pe}, yielding some weird sentences: {le gerku pe fa ku pu viska le mlatu pe na ku}. Should we attempt to assign a meaning to those, or should we explicitly define them as meaningless?

I interpret "pe fa ku" to mean "pe the x1 of this bridi", but I can't interpret "pe naku", I admit.

How about this:

 le re mlatu cu fa'u gi xekri gi nai xekri
 .i le gerku pu viska le mlatu pe na ku
