I have got hold of a copy of Martin's Dagur grammar, and I am fairly
sure that the 'de-emphatic particle' we were told of is a
misunderstanding of his admittedly scanty description. I will post a
more detailed account in a few days.
The question is, if we find that Dagur indeed lacks this linguistic
feature that I for one thought very strange, do we remove it from the
list of proposed extensions for the next Lojban release, or having
thought of it, do we leave it there in case somebody does find a use for
it?
