Folks, if we're going to change the meaning of {.imu'ibo} from {mu'i la'edi'e
.i} to {.i mu'i la'edi'u}, we'd best do so now, or forever hold our peace.
Lojbab: such a change would render obsolete all text written to date, but
it is still early enough for us to get away with it. Should we attempt it?
(For those not hip on the jargon: does "iki'ubo" mean "this is because..."
(current) or "Because of this..."?
